Leadership Causing Decline of Morale
Pros
Other operators and technicians are fantastic, very easy to work with. 12 hour, 3-4 day work schedule make for good work/life balance.
Cons
I'm not sure where to begin. Employees who work the 12 hour schedule only get paid 8 hours for holidays. Whenever there is a department shutdown (usually twice a year for a week) for maintenance or facilities work, operators are required to use their own PTO. If the building isn't closed, management will offer you "busy work" on those days so they can get out of paying you for these shutdowns. Office politics destroying trust between employees. Technician and operators voice their concerns to management only to be blown off and ignored. Multiple people giving different instructions for work on the floor. Supervisors are blamed for every issue that happens on the floor by engineers and higher management. Individuals getting promoted to higher management rolls who definitely do not have the experience or people skills to be there. This is just the tip of the iceberg. It often feels like ridiculous high school drama is going on all the time.
