We try to help one another, despite opposition from those higher up

There's an attempt to seem relatable, but there's a high chance it's all lip-service

Dial back the biased ideals, drop so much focus on production that's based on a flawed system.

Communication, for starters. And a reality check every now and then, because there are times when they fail to see logic.

The attendance incentive sets the company apart from others, however it's a double-edged sword; if it ever goes, so will 75% or more of the workforce.

Hiring qualified people from within, not DEI morons who cannot form a coherent sentence and lack critical knowledge about our products and how they are assembled.

For one, we are few in number. Less people bumping into one another. Secondly, and more importantly, there aren't a surplus of indians pretending to be chiefs.

Communication. Promoting the idea that people with ambition to do more will have the opportunity and not become glued to the same mundane task day after day.

Cut out the nepotism in the workplace. I left a privately owned company to leave the special treatment of family members behind, but I'm still seeing it here.

That we, the workers, largely depend on one another to boost each other and problem solve as those who are appointed to lead us often lack the knowledge and knowhow to see it through.

Better hiring decisions that aren't based on DEI policies and are.more.focused on qualifications. Maybe try to promote from within rather than bringing in someone with zero prior experience to the manufacturing environment we work in daily.

The influx of immigrants being hired to the facility is a clear indication of stagnant wages being paid to dependable, hard-working Americans who deserve fair pay and preference over those who cannot even speak the national language.

The problem as of late is that our Hispanic employee recruiters are only bringing in Hispanics and neglecting actual American workers who speak English, the national language. The language barrier is slowing production to a halt at times.

Well, before I arrived the employees received 3 full weeks off during the holiday season, and were paid in full for those weeks. Now we have to work that period and only received an additional week of PTO as compensation.

I think random drug screenings throughout the month would weed out much of the problem, pun very much intended. Also, how about a ban on nepotism? It's undoubtedly a conflict of interest having direct relatives working in the same department.

If a good bit of it wasn't conditional. And currently I'm waiting to see if I need to start browsing for another job if the wrong decision is made in June, and I'd ager 75% of the producing workforce feels the same.

Securing a future for the company, diversifying through marketing innovation and expansion. This is peak season at our facility and we spend most of our time doing work for the sister location. This does not create a positive atmosphere for the remaining employees.

Make the incentive a permanent increase instead of conditional. It gets old wondering if I need to start looking for other employment every six months. And pay the hourly employees for company ordered lay-ins so we can actually enjoy all of our P.T.O.

I honestly have no idea what they do or what they company's goals are for the foreseeable future. I understand the sales team has been writing checks that the manufacturing side cannot possibly cash without some serious upgrades to its infrastructure, like new equipment.

So far it's the attendance incentive, although it would be beneficial to add in sick days that accumulate throughout the work year based on attendance. And either roll over unused GP time or have the company buy it back at the end of the year.

Most do not receive the proper orientation and and training before being dumped onto the production floor. Leaders are meant to lead, not act as babysitters and to be held accountable for untrained workers' mistakes. Also, certain managers show clear signs of.having held a management position.

The fact this company cut back on overtime during the holiday season while record high inflation has increased the cost of living triplefold. There doesn't seem to any foresight from those in executive positions, who aren't losing wages weekly like the hourly employees have been facing for weeks

For the most part the higher ups at least pretend to treat the workers decent enough, except when the director calls for an all employee meeting and the points the finger at the people who produce and says we're to blame for the company's failings for an entire year.

The company needs to stop hiring workers who cannot speak or understand the English language; this has been a real problem due to the hiring of a Hispanic in-house recruiter who clearly favors ethnicity over experience. An employee that requires a translator is not an asset but a hindrance.

There's not much to applaud, honestly; a crew of seven people is expected to match the production output of another crew with three times the amount of people. A lack of preliminary training for new recruits means they're tossed out into the work environment to drown and drag down production.

Although I don't utilize it, the fact that the majority of insurance premiums and a portion of childcare is covered by the company on our behalf. The incentive is nice, but it's a double edged sword for the company because if it leaves, so does 75% or better of the employees.

Putting any uncertainties to bed. One day the forecast is bad, the next day it's looking good. The only thing we as the producers who keep the doors open care about is our compensation. Given the current economic climate in the real world, it wouldn't be worth showing up for anything less

Before coming to work here, and after speaking with a few people who have been here close to a decade, I'd been told of the things this company used to do that set it apart from other companies. But since my start here in 2022, none of those things exist any more.

Comraderie is important in the workplace, as it's usually the people like us who are doing the work versus the people in the office who pull six figures a year and smile at you through their teeth. There are few unnecessary people, namely one who's daddy is a staff member, but mostly good people
