      Employee burnout is coming unless we change

      Pros

      The employees and management are great to work with. Everyone is dedicated to success and highly driven to support each other's (and the company's) goals. The company has been executing the stated strategy well, and acquisitions have been complementary to the existing customer and technology base.

      Cons

      The work culture is one of 24x7 right now. I see more and more people online over the weekend, and Saturday has become virtually another day at the office based on the volume of emails I see. Travel seems to be the norm as many people are out of the office on a routine basis (and some every week). In most companies there is an expectation of some off-hours work. However, over the past year I have noticed that off-hours work is the norm and almost expected across many teams including teleconferences and video conferences on Saturday and Sunday in some cases. Burnout is coming if management doesn't change (or possibly set) expectations.

      We appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Our company culture is one of high performance and sometimes requires off-hours work to maintain the level of success we have achieved. On the whole, we strive for a balance between work and personal time. We understand the important role that family and “slack time” play in our employees’ contentment and in their success – both at work and at home. We also recognize that we have technology at our fingertips that makes it easier to stay connected on the off-hours, which can be good and bad. There may be times when certain projects require some weekend work but this should not be the norm. We will continue look closely at this as a leadership team and ensure we are partnering with our managers and employees to foster that balance.

      Pros

      The executive leadership is incredible, and the working environment is great.

      Cons

      The company is evolving, but it could move faster in certain areas to operate more competitively, not to say it's needed but it would be a long-term benefit.

      Pros

      The company as a whole is a great organization. There are many opportunities because the company is growing so rapidly. The people and managers are great. Very fast paced environment so the days go by fast.

      Cons

      Systems are the biggest challenge. MRP system (ORACLE) is in need of updating which creates a lot of manual (unnecessary) work.

      Thanks very much for sharing your feedback and your thoughtful suggestions on where we can improve. Our first priority has been to consolidate systems so we are all working on a common platform. As you noted, sometimes that takes priority over other enhancements. We are working on enhancements to our ERP environment, which will expand the MRP functionality. Additionally we are working to streamline the user interface and implement more automation reducing manual transactions. Phase one of these enhancements will be deployed by July of this year. If you have more feedback or would like more details, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I would welcome your input. Thank you, Jamie Ryan Mercury CIO
