Not the company it once was - Wage Employee John Deere Employee Review

Different set of rules for management, and all three classes of wage employees. Discipline is becoming out of control. Wage employees lose money and benefits yearly lowering our standard of living. Insurance is still good but co pays are getting unmanageable. Very disgruntled workforce . Union is weak. No longer competitive with skilled workers pay and are losing them to other local employers. All about profit and production. Safety is reactive instead of proactive. Air quality is bad. Business practices are becoming borderline unethical.
