We've hit the iceberg and those that could have taken the lifeboats and gone. At best, the division in which I work will become no more than a sales office serving as an interface between the customer and engineering offices overseas. We are an inconsequential part of GE with no future.
Working from home is very good.
We work well together even when working from home..
That they are experienced professionals.
Listen to the workforce rather than bully their own opinion through.
Working from home is good. I don't have to spend 90 minutes in a car every day.
It would be the option to work from home but communications from the management seems to rule that out now.
Holiday entitlement. I get to escape the torment for 25 days a year. I wish it could be more.
Bullying from the management should stop. No manager should be allowed to use the phrase "...and if you don't like it you can leave" to a meeting of the workforce. They should listen to the workforce rather than force through their own world view.
Not bullying the workforce would be a start. Don't worry though, if they don't like it, they can always leave. That is what the workforce was told by a senior manager. Listening to the aspirations of the workforce would help. Winning some orders and not alienating our biggest customer?
The division in which I work gives the impression of one that is being wound down, I give it a year at the most. Experienced engineers are leaving and not being replaced. Junior engineers are not being recruited or trained. Quality is viewed as an overhead rather than a core activity.
