    It’s the week before Christmas so probably a mandatory fun meeting where the president announces no bonus this year but everyone gets to leave at 3pm on Christmas Eve!

      It’s a factory, they all practically speaking shut down on Christmas week, and depending on the factory and what they do (or how behind they are) they could shut down all the way through to new years as well.

      At least that’s my experience with factory work in the car supply chain, and the factory where this happened here looks like it’s roughly doing the exact same thing. Also just as an aside, a lot of factory type work still here in the states almost always has all sorts of problems with retaining workers.

        Now, with that being said, if there’s anyone who I wanted to do some legally questionable stuff to in the 5 years i worked at at factory. It’d be the 3rd shift manager, and some of the division managers, each for different reasons.
