Horrible that a work force essentially kept in company camps can be woken in the night to get back to work because a higher-up decided to change something obvious last-second.
I would hope this would not happen in 'Merica.

The owner (and his managers) used to wake everyone up and get them into the kitchen, unexpectedly, if something went wrong—which might mean only management's planning. It cannot be ignored that—however convenient it may be for workers—the arrangement is easy for management to abuse.
