 The first-shift guys tell you they work together as a team. They are the best shift in every way. And they always clean up and set up for second shift. But they tell you third shift leaves them a mess. When they come in raring to go to work and be the best, there is trash in the aisles, no material for them to work with. They spend the first half-hour cleaning up and setting up, and generally doing what those third shift guys should have done.
