Shifts have their own rules.

Pros

Good associate level camaraderie and they help when they can.

Cons

Management level employees are always on power trip. There shouldn’t be different rule on mfg shifts. It shouldn’t be A and B it’s MFG, whatever rules and guidelines put in place for MFG should be implemented for both shifts. For supervisors stop making excuses not to head on the floor and STOP telling your associate because the “head of mfg says so”, there is a fine line between you lying to not work or your just straight up not caring about helping the team. Stop changing the work hours “CDMO sets the rhythm/tunes for the client” STOP MAKING RUSH MOVES in order to please the client. Want to be the best “MAKE A BETTER PLAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE” don’t over promise.
