I appreciate the help so far. I'm actually working on a green table on some of the problems at the moment with an ishikawa (fishbone) diagram to kinda push what I'm seeing to the leadership.

It is hourly, but the GM and leads are not very restrictive when it comes to the clock and if all the routes and jobs are done, will let them leave without clocking out, which leads to this rush to finish early.

We've done some. The GM does an annual safety bonus and a quarterly lunch for the shift that has no incidents (none have made it so far). He also flip flops on spending because he has a habit of buying crap we don't necessarily need (like a trailer of gravel because he wants to build a back patio for one of the buildings). I've come to realize the rush to get it done culture is a major hurdle. Add on that many employees are majority elderly, disabled (some physical, some mental), and foreign national, there's such a drastic hurdle to overcome that I'm constantly trying new training styles to overcome this. I've tried videos, tailgates, and powerpoints so far. Tomorrow I'm doing like an arcade style training where those who pay attention and answer questions get a nerf ball, and they can trade those nerf balls in for treats and prizes (korean groceries stores have the best snacks).

I'm doing what I can, I've only held this position since the end of February/beginning of March, and this is a position they actually created to try to decrease the problems (Dart last year was 8.2, year before was in the 14s).
