I spent an entire summer at my first job verifying serial numbers on shipping containers for our product. (90+ degree temp, 90% humidity, minimum)
It seems the line workers had stencilled one serial number on one side and a different number on the other, and the logs often had a third. Often, the actual product S/N had nothing to do with the container or the log.
Took two engineers (fresh outs, to minimize the damage) for two whole months to set the record straight. It turned out that the QA teams of two whose job was to verify the assembly work before he containers were sealed would take turns, one slept in the morning, the other in the afternoon. They got transfered to a different assembly line but they coudn't be fired (for the usual reason).
After a (highly educational) year I found a new job away from manufacturing, in R&D.
Assembly line work is simply not fun for anybody. Strictly business.
As the joke goes; "If it was fun it wouldn't be work. And they would expect you to pay instead of being paid."
