[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1042271, member: 498"] This is not a new thing. I grew up with my Dad running a plywood mill that operated 24/7. It was a constant problem for him. People were expected to be standing there ready to take over for the guy on the shift ahead of them. I remember him saying that if I didn't need you at 7:00 I sure don't need you at 7:15. He would say if your car won't start you better call a cab. he thought it was better to pay cab fare than to lose your job. That was in the 50's and 60's. Then I worked in the woods for years. If the crew bus was picking you up at 5:00 AM, you better not be there at 5:01 because they would have left you. In fact if they got there at 4:55 and you weren't there they would leave without you. And there were jobs where I drove an hour to catch the crew bus so you had to allow a little extra time to make sure you got there before they did. [/QUOTE]
