It wasn't that long ago that this was a good place...

It wasn't that long ago that this was a good place to work. Once upon a time, it was smooth as butter. There were managers and supervisors here for years that grew up locally and were invested in this business that knew it inside and out. They cared about the community and employees. This was only five years ago.

Slowly since that time, the old managers and supervisors have retired, quit, or been fired. They have been replaced by know-it-alls that seem like they are making up rules and learning as they go. The politcally correct corporate kind that talk a good game, nod their heads, smile, yet nothing really gets done.

Nothing seems to go right anymore. They construct these elaborate training and development plans and try to train us for months, talk them up, only to let them go by the wayside to never hear about them again. Every two or three months for the past year or two there seems to be some kind of chinese fire drill regarding a recall where we have to go thru a bunch of product. This was after they fired the quality manager with absolutely no back up plan! What did they think would happen?!

They is a turnstyle of employees as I speak. Even some managers and supervisors just decided to up and quit not that long ago. I am only one of about 10 employees left that have been here longer then 5 years (out of 50 or so). They can't get anyone to work here and people keep leaving because it is so chaotic and frustrating. It's like chicken or egg lol ! So, we are stuck working a bunch of overtime to cover.

Things are such a mess that there are rumors everywhere that the new company will probably see it and move everything to one of their other plants and shut us down. That would be a shame. Like, I said, this USED TO BE A GOOD PLACE TO WORK until poor, unorganized management took over.
