Co-workers: unmotivated, ungrateful, lazy (in general), take too long of breaks, cell phone usage is out of control, complaining and bickering and overall attitudes on shop floor are poor.
Middle Management: They should get paid MORE than what they are and for what they have to deal with. Attitudes of my co workers are poor, they supervisors are held accountable for low productivity. But, how can you hold them accountable for production when the workers are lazy with bad attitudes. I have personally heard my co workers say, "they don't pay me enough, Ill be d"@^ned if these supervisors get paid more than the guy making the company money while they sit around barking orders." "just because someone has a degree don't mean he deserves a wooden nickel in my book" "these supervisors been fed with a silver spoon and never got their hands dirty" "Ima take as many breaks as i want, he can get out here and work a little for once" "time to go use the phone booth, i mean the bathroom, to check my Facebook" "i hate my supervisor, he makes me work like he actually does anything all day" I could go on and on and on, i know i don't want their job just because they deal with all the crap on the shop floor. everyone kisses upper managements butt and will throw their supervisor under the bus, just because he/ she makes them work and tries their best to achieve the company goals and objectives. How much do supervisors make? I know i make more than some of the supervisors make & don't think its fair.
