Conmed sold? Good luck all.

No way. Big money controlling this forum? You do realize how many 100's of thousands it takes a year to support this site? They do not care as you are just a cog in the wheel. Just do what they say so they can live their lives off of the back of your work while continually taking away benefits to ensure the bottom line results in positive cash flow for investors. Bad Conmed and the board of directors. How does God feel about this? You have this one life. Do you, the Board of Directors and Nate sleep well at night? We are all human and do the best we can for Conmed Largo. Lately it seems that everything we stand for has left the building and profit margins take priority. We currently continue to hire via phone interviews only to realize after spending up to 5 thousand for relocation which was approved by Utica only to show up on property with little knowledge .I dare you Utica to share the dollar amount for all the scrap product produced out of our Largo facility since you decided to move Anaheim to Lago . ( I have the numbers). You guys had no idea of the advanced talent you just threw away. Shame on you. And now Largo has to try to clean up your mess. Anyone involved with the decision to move CMO should be terminated. God bless us all.

Keep religion away from facts, it's embarrassing.

They scrap a lot because of the pressure to meet the impossible run rates, and some of the trainers are @$$holes towards the new people who feel conflicted when confronted with something "out of procedure" or rushed to keep up or "we don't have the tool for this, so we use whatever we got" and then catastrophic failure must be the new person's fault. Seniority wins, favoritism, biased upper management, NO REAL INVESTIGATION EVERRRRR!!!! Intimidation and pressure to stay quiet to keep the job while looking for another one. Who wants to work there when they have access to this site and determine whether or not to even try to work there?

There's so much complaining aimed at the new people. There's multiple sides to things. Feeling pressured in an environment that's supposed to have PROFESSIONALISM spells disaster. I have seen the frustration on new people having to deal with the hateful disgruntled employees that STILL WORK THERE. OP may not even work anywhere NEAR building 1 but has a rumor (his opinion) to share. Pitiful. If they stop rushing the process, and had the correct tools, and the trainers were ALL professional, then there'd be much less scrap. If only they were smart enough to get rid of tack sheets. Run rates have been brought up at every meeting imaginable for so many years, they want to pressure people but they never admit it out loud. Some run rates are literally impossible. But run rates are used to bully people to "speed up" and then upper management tells people in meetings "we never tell you to hurry, we want quality over quantity". They look the other way when we don't have tools that's out for calibration so we just use whatever we have, or SKIP THE PROCESS!!!!

It's as sneaky as a police officer purposely putting themselves in front of a vehicle so they can have the green light to shoot the driver.

The run rates are for the @$$holes to confront the "slow people who can't keep up". (quietly and privately)

How long until items come back from calibration?

Why did you dumb@$$e$ fire so many people that can calibrate our tools so we can go back to using them?

Fire the team leaders, we don't need them. Get rid of third shift, allow them to move to second or first shift. Allow only voluntary overtime. Stop assigning the A.O. to be the ears and eyes of the floor, you can just sneak up on people quickly and easily (unless you're FAT and LOUD and too social). The A.O. will ALWAYS choose who to snitch on and who gets to walk across the building laughing and talking and taking out their cell phone to record something to build up a case against that company.
