It has been a long time since i've visited this thread a couple years ago. Still no layoffs yet. A few people were fired for being sloppy, and got caught. Forging documents, walking around way too much and being flamboyant about it. I can't believe how we still have the area owner position, and team leader position at this company. Does everyone not know there wasn't an A.O. position many years ago? Is it hard to believe that we production/adults can do what that 1 person is doing? And team leaders/coaches are very very expensive baby sitters. They love to walk around and eat food. From the fatties, to the ones that act like they run the company by repeatedly shoving it in everyone's face that "they're in charge".
I fantasize what my life would have been like if I had never moved to Florida, but stayed up north where i'm from. The extreme cold is the only thing I don't miss, but the company where I was from had more structural integrity. We actually cared about each other. And were more productive, and made more money.
I have seen so many lazy people daydreaming, and nodding off because their run rates are so tiny. I have seen authority figures flirting with girls half their age. I have seen people sabotage others "work in process" to try and get them in trouble, but there's no traceability. I have seen people use tools that are not included in the documents, and skip using tools that are required, but they're outdated, obsolete, and putting the job on hold won't solve it. Because nobody wants to fix anything here.
Really.
The same problems for years, and new people saying they will fix it, and it's still the same. AND THAT IS ALSO THE SAME!!! We get new people saying they will finally make it better (every couple of years), but they don't change anything that needs to be changed. Some small layoffs, and move things around in a few cells, and that's it.
