We are forced to work 16 hour shifts in heat that the normal person can't handle! Alcoa doesn't care about their employees!
Review from Operations Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Most of them are high at work, so would help if they were sober
More time to improve the work we do - remove the ineffective meetings and over explaining to management just to justify your positions - let us get on with it and remove the road blocks.

Fresher thinking, better accountability and faster execution

People need to be more confident in their own decision making. They also need to better themselves. Learning doesn't stop when you are employed.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
CEO is alwas some scumbag that makes to mutch
leadership lining their own pockets while their employees are left in the cold. leadership taking credit for the work employees do
executive leadership, upper management, middle management and first line supervisors only care about profit.....NOTHING else
decline in accountability for employees - too much emphasis on blaming the supervisors rather than take responsibility for management's past mistakes
Review from Operations Dept
We are chasing our tails, because we don't have the right stuff to work with we have to improvise then go back and change everything we did before. Its ridiculous, wast of time and on a safety note your running fork trucks twice as much and you n day shift it get very crowded with traffic in the mil
