Not the best, not the worst - Packaging Foremost Farms Employee Review

Overtime! We've only been close to fully staffed once in the last 7 years or so. This causes forced overtime, 18 hour shifts with 6 hour turnarounds sometimes. No fault attendance policy causes repercussions for being even a single minute late. So if someone knows they will be late they just don't show up. Same repercussion, but at least they get some time off to recover from their overtime, while causing more for others. Then others do the same thing. But if fully staffed, people would be less burned out and not do that so much. They also try to run 3 packaging lines with 2 lines worth of staff, the 3rd line is often covered with more overtime. There is a perception that management doesn't listen to employee concerns, and telling employees what they want to hear.
