Hire to Retire

Calling HR where are you? Has this program ever been started? Hush seems to be the word.

I know from my wife's experience that it exists in at least some manufacturing sites. Now referred to as "Hire to Fire".

I toured the vaccine plant once and those "hire to retire" union thugs in action. We looked through a window and saw this "supervisor" looking through mails and newspaper supervising some young workers loading cases of vaccines. He jumped off his easy chair and put away the mails when he realized we were watching him. Then I saw how mail delivery was made at West Point. A "supervisor" walking with a young fellow making a small delivery of a few Fed Ex envelopes in a cart to various offices. Yeah they really need a supervisor for that. Then my friend at West Point tried to move a few tables by a few feet and was told he has to send in a work order for the union thugs to come and move the tables. Later on he was warned not to empty trash on his own nor to leave it outside the door because it would create a hazard and the union would complain. So "hire to fire" for those union thugs is good. I wonder if their expenses and inability to easily fire them meant Merck looks to the reps instead to reduce cost.

If you're even modestly intelligent, it's the plan by which Merck has laid off, fired or pushed out several thousand sales people in the last few years.

If you're brain dead, you'll believe that your job will exist a few years from now.

No hire....and layoff before you get to retirement seems like the real slogan. S1,2,3 might mean order of layoff so why get the jitters at what rank you are might be year 1,2,3 ....CSO might be in everyones future if we stay in this industry.

hire to retire is the SAP Human Resources application. Basically, the company decided it was better for mgrs to "self serve" with regards to the processing of hires, transfers, promotions, terminations than to have a dedicated hr staff do this type of work. might have been a good decision, might have been a stupid decision... but its the way its done today.

Sad all this is within the authority of one little low ranking manager. Few managers are the cream dela cream of managers....most think they have the ability to "self serve" up these big decisions but most are wet behind the ears and are still in manager diapers.
