[FIXED] How to aling the data along y-axis in Matlibplot

Issue

I have created a MWE to explain my issue. As seen in the plot below, the curves are moving along the horizontal axis. I need to force the curves to move along the vertical axis, and set the corresponding ticks on the x-axis.

MWE:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

employees = np.arange(0, 12, 76)
sub_one_grades = np.random.normal(0, 1, 76) + 10 
sub_two_grades = np.random.normal(0, 1, 76) + 15
sub_three_grades = np.random.normal(0, 1, 76) + 30

# plot
plt.plot(sub_one_grades)
plt.plot(sub_two_grades)
plt.plot(sub_three_grades)

#plt.yticks(employees) #<------REQUIRED, but not working

plt.show()

print()

REQUIRED PLOT:

Solution

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

employees = np.arange(0, 76)
sub_one_grades = np.random.normal(0, 1, 76) + 10 
sub_two_grades = np.random.normal(0, 1, 76) + 15
sub_three_grades = np.random.normal(0, 1, 76) + 30

#plt.figure(figsize=(12, 30))

plt.plot(sub_one_grades, employees)
plt.plot(sub_two_grades, employees)
plt.plot(sub_three_grades, employees)

#plt.yticks(employees, ['Emp {}'.format(i) for i in employees])
plt.ylabel("Employees")
plt.xlabel("Sub Grades")
plt.show()

you can remove # in the code but the plot would look ugly due to high employee amount

If you uncomment here is what you will get
