I meant like the processing equipment fucks off and starts spilling product on the floor and the half crippled janitor has to struggle to turn it off while everyone else looks on because they're on their lunch break so it's not their problem. And then they all give the one fork lift driver who stops to help clean it up the stink eye. Or the front end loader operator who leaves at exactly 5pm rather than staying the extra 10min to complete the task at hand on the Friday before a long weekend leaving the people he was supporting to do a ton of less efficient work with a different machine causing his coworkers to not leave until 7pm because they were actually responsible for finishing the task. Both those are examples from real life BTW. And in both cases management wanted to chew the people being selfish jerks out but because of the rigidly defined job requirements as a result of the various agreements with the union nothing would have come of it so they didn't get chewed out. That's the kind of toxic "not my job" attitude that unions provide a heck of a lot of cover for. Frankly I think it's moronic that people don't realize that just because something benefits the company doesn't mean it doesn't also benefit your coworkers.
