Communication is poor, especially between middle management and employees. There are not enough opportunities for constructive feedback about operational decisions and staffing levels.
My Manager/Supervisor are in the dark about how much labor certain tasks take, and their scheduling is excessively optimistic, then falls behind due to not enough boots on the ground.
I would like to be moved from hourly to salary, since I am the only person in the company with my specific position, and largely manage myself on a day to day basis.
The austerity measures affecting hiring of operations employees need to be rethought, because there are too many middle managers not adding value on a daily basis by completing important tasks instead of sitting at desks and meetings.
