2nd-shift factory worker forced to come in for 1 hour on his day off to help cover gaps in shift handover after the 1st shift complains about overtime, raising the issue of the personal cost and burnout
Managers have a tendency to make their responsibilities their workers' problems. This factory worker, who works second shift Sunday through Thursday, has been forced to come into work at 2:30 pm on Friday, his day off, for only an hour shift in order to prevent first shift from having to work the hour of overtime after the first shift complained that it was unfair that they had to consistently cover that gap between shifts.The worker is frustrated because of the cost presented with the extra day commuting along with what is essentially a lost day off for only an hours pay thanks to that hour being right in the middle of the day.
