Shoot from the hip. Micromanagement. Double Standards. Even though you are working on something which is a high priority, stop what you're in the middle of doing because there is another task you must finish instead. That's how I would summarize my observations during my employment here. Practically no planning or forethought. Persons who like Type A personality traits will fit in well here. As a person who likes to think and logically plan out tasks, I simply didn't fit with the "Here is your supplies, here is your task... why isn't this done? Why didn't you think of this?" attitude. With a wealth of knowledge and years of previous experience successfully planning and executing tasks as a technician, these skills I brought to the table were beginning to atrophy. Exacerbating the problem was the fact I was often handed supplies which were not appropriately selected for the projects I was assigned. I spent many hours attempting to make things work where they weren't really supposed to work, then it would have taken if I were allowed to select the correct materials to do the job in 1/3 the time at 1/2 the cost - which would have allowed me to complete other tasks. Again, this is a failure to recognize and harness talent in their employees. The result is employees who don't feel trusted, and simply have no place to think for themselves. As a consequence, Accufab fails to retain top-shelf talent. It is foreign to them, discouraged, and unwanted. It seems such a shame to me, especially when I desperately wanted to apply my knowledge and expertise. The pay is very low, rules selectively enforced, communication virtually non-existent, and I believe there is little to no future here for anyone who aspires to flourish in an environment which allows people to use their talents to the fullest. I am thankful I was able to secure another employment opportunity before this place started to bring me down. I had high hopes for my career here. Those hopes fizzled rather quickly. If you are looking for a dead-end job, with low pay, and no future - this is the place for you to work. You've been informed.
