By definition it's not your job to do your boss's job.
And if you did do your boss's job ... who did yours?
And whoever did yours ... who did theirs?
And whoever did theirs ...
you get the picture. 😉

And if that whole chain of doing work fails, we have this great thing called 'slacking off' to fill the rest of the day.
Or this other thing called 'overtime' if we have more work than we can do in the normal time allotted.

They slack off until overtime is called. By then, there's so much work to do that we (the next shift) can barely get it done. And they crack the whip on us because they don't want to call overtime on us. This is almost a daily occurrence, despite the fact that they are supposed to clear their operation by two full hours before their end of shift. And no one in upper management has the slightest clue what they're pulling almost every day. As a result, upper management seems to think that their shift (and not ours) is the more valuable shift to them, since obviously, they have so much work they can't get it done, while our shift is only for "clean-up" work.
