Have you ever had a moment when you really wanted to

In most chemical manufacturing companies, the production teams work in shifts – two-shift, three-shift, etc. The handover between teams is a crucial process. Everyone is aware of the handover procedures, but do they always follow them every time? If they did, there wouldn’t be so many problems arising from these handovers that affect relationships between teams. As someone who has been a team leader, have you ever felt like getting angry at such moments when other teams pass tasks to you, while the members of your own team feel that those tasks shouldn’t fall on their shoulders? What would you do in such situations? And what do you feel when your team receives less in terms of bonuses, benefits, or performance pay compared to other teams, even though your team puts in the most effort? Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions!
As the team leader, and as a member of the team, there were moments when I wanted to explode in anger, but I managed to hold back.
During shift handovers, it’s common to encounter people looking for trouble for no reason – this motor is making strange noises, there’s a leak in that area, and all sorts of problems can be found. But the critical operational parameters and the actual underlying issues go unnoticed; it’s clear that their skills aren’t up to par, and they’re just trying to draw attention to themselves.
That’s right; the most annoying thing is people looking for trouble for no reason. The main issue is “not found”
There are always those who create trouble for no reason; one can be patient and deal with them, but one cannot allow them to act unchecked.
No problem – you shouldn’t make your team members bear responsibilities that they shouldn’t have to take on.
There’s really a lot to complain about regarding shift handovers; I guess everyone faces similar situations.
Everyone follows the established procedures; nothing too extreme happens. It’s fine to do a bit more work, unless the other two teams agree to target one specific team. . . .
It’s common for a certain team to keep taking advantage of others. It’s fine once or twice, but over time, everyone else should start to have objections.
I remember when I first started working, I was assigned to a task related to internal operations. The company had strict requirements regarding yield; there were specific specifications for the liquid level in each tower and reflux tank. If more product was extracted per shift, the yield would be higher. I was the only guy working there, doing the internal tasks; every time I took over a shift, less liquid level would be left for me. I was constantly bullied by sisters who were much older than me – it was really tough.
This is a very common situation; knowing what others are doing makes it awkward to say anything.
