Die Große Menge Der Idioten
Sep. 15th, 2004 02:49 pmDid I ever mention I work with complete idiots?
So there was meeting to discuss our satisfaction survey results. I was lucky enough to be lumped in with the first shift production crew. Two questions were below par, overall satisfaction and opportunity to learn and grow.
The focus fell on the overall satisfaction. Even though I pointed out that recent cut backs by attrition have cost them new opportunity. It broke down as two supervisor positions, one mechanic and three QC inspectors. A total of six positions that would have been filled five years ago and could earn anywhere from 10% to 40% more income, and marketable skills. I encouraged them to look close at the opportunity question.
Nope! They went straight for overall satisfaction and they made some jaw dropping demands. We want more baseball caps and shirts with the company logo. We want more pizza. We want a company picnic at a local amusement park.
After what occurred at another workplace I know of, I was almost expecting them to demand a stupid dress code.
Sigh, so you pick a crappy baseball cap over long term potential promotions. What-ever.
