Arlington moral boost

The Happy Employee

David simply used this moral boost day to kiss Edgar’s butt. Not one employee wanted to visit with patients, surgeons or sales reps, we want to go out and have fun somewhere. The fish was mediocre.

Also making us go in a room with laptops for survey engagement because Edgar got on you, Wendy and Matt about poor participation percentages. Simply pathetic, this survey will be why you are fired.

This is funny.
So what I’m reading here is site leadership shut production down (at substantial cost to the company, not just the site) and brought in customers who showed appreciation for the work you’ve done and how our products improve the quality of life for so many. They fed you so you don’t have to eat out of a machine, a food truck, or a Tupperware bowl. And you b!tch about it.
They set up an entire room so that you have the opportunity to give your opinion on what else the company can do to make you happy. And you b!tch about it.
Keep it up and Stryker will decide Arlington isn’t worth it and send the work to one of their many sites worldwide where labor is cheaper and employees are appreciative. Then YOU, not David , Wendy, or Matt, will be looking for looking for a job making half as much and working twice as hard. And at those places, if they catch you sitting in a chair playing on your phone with your feet propped up, they’ll walk your lazy, unappreciative a$$ right out the door. No questions asked.
Newsflash, everyone knows everyone else in the local med device companies …so they’ll find out if an applicant is worth hiring or a worthless waste of space that hides behind a ch!cken$h!t anonymous internet bulletin board.
 








Edgar wasted no time adding fuel to the fire. Arlington will be run into the ground soon. I won't be surprised when Stryker closes this place.

How the fuck are the machinist going to run machines & inspect parts with this day by hour garbage along with everything else they have to sign...esp on automated

If Stryker decides Arlington isnt worth it, David Wendi Matt and YOU, too, will be "looking for a job making half as much." This response makes as much sense as the person writing it. An "anonymous internet bulletin board" looks like is hiding YOU, too.

Aww you seem upset in your desk jockey position. Stryker has allowed 5 grand a month for morale but they do this instead, so yeah we are B!TCHING you worthless F*CK. If they shut us down so be it. David will struggle on finding a job, Scotty B don't got his back anymore. They fed us some over salted fish, Tupperware doesn't bother me because i save money and don't live off of a piss poor ego. Maybe that overpass on your way in one morning will win your mental battle ;)

You seem like a great employee to let go first. Then all the middle managers that can’t figure anything out because they are so stupid.

Wow, that’s a tough one! May I suggest less smoke breaks and spending less time on your cell phone?

Cell Phones are banned on the floor, except of course when you need to pull it out and use it to login to the systems.
Which unfortunately just increases the time it takes to get production up an running after encountering a problem. "Sorry you wanted to ask for support via text or send/check your work email next to your machine, you can't use your phone, here, walk away from your machine and use this old outdated computer that's needed to be returned to the company we leased them from a year ago, you'll still have to pull your phone out though."

Moral is at an all time low here. You know why? David D.! He cares for nothing but himself. He honestly doesn't have the know how to be in the position he is in. No one likes him. It's your classic, climb the ladder by kissing butt. I mean, he used to fall asleep at work years ago. Head down on the table and everything. "No one is here, who is gonna see me". When confronted.

Also, the survey is a joke. It asks questions about the company. You rate them based on your experience, with management and site leadership and the things they can/should do differently. Then you meet and discuss the results and are told by David D. that the scores are a reflection on you, the takers, and that you look bad. So, you have to come up with things to do, to improve the survey results. Which is not really possible since none of the ratings were based on anything that you can enact change on.

The survey and the corresponding actions to be taken after, by the employees, is just a underhanded way to increase scores.
"Once they realize that nothing comes from the survey, and they have to deal with the results, they'll make it easier on themselves next year by just saying everything is great!"

Nothing management is doing is beneficial to the company. They have went through 4 different ways to capture down time on the machines in the last few months alone. Currently having the machinists do 2 different down time entry methods. Redundant information that isn't utilized properly.

The production percentages aren't accurate.
I've seen it first hand and it's all wrong. Yet they refuse to fix anything and just blame the employees and processes. Everything is skewed to make it look like the parts take less to make, which drives production percentages way down.

Stryker needs to send someone in that knows what their doing to fix this mess.
 








Stryker keeps hiring reject management from S&N. David D has done a great job making everyone hate coming in to work and Edgar just a lying worthless piece of shit that will eventually run his self out. Let’s all pray David and Wendi go with him when it happens. Don’t forget Focused Excellence!

Jumping ship alright. Getting knocked off the ship, too. Bye bye, 3rd shift. They should have offered the buyout to all employees recently. Let the lil raggedy MPL's run the machines and do the material finishing, see how much they can get done and save money with those 3 little no machining vixens puttin in real work in screws in ankles. That'll save you money, Edgar.

Who is the reject management from Smith Nephew that Stryker "keeps hiring"? Edgar? He came from NuVasive after Global bought em out. He left Smith because his time was up, and that was in 2022. Personally, I think this shish he doing might work. We are heavy at this facility. Not anymore, with more to come probably. Now all he needs to do is make those ragged MPL's do some real work in their areas. Fake ass wannabe supervisor's making 32$ an hour to tell it and pretend to be in charge. #eeociscoming

Don’t be fooled by the “Happy Hispanic” routine. That is not who he is.
