I cannot answer this question.
My team shares the same hardships as I do. There is not one single team member or technician here that doesn't feel compassionate about their work.
Delegating priorities. Yearly wage increase are not motivating as they are usually only $0.20 while management and leadership receive multiple bonuses monthly, and acquire large raises.
It was a sugar-coated explanation of the mission here at Teledyne Microwave Solutions. The interview was not extended to a large amount of time, but got to the point and ended with a tour of the facility.
The pressure to continually make shipments does not explain the low wages. There are promises made to skilled workers that their wages and title will increase, but it is false motivation to ensure the employee stays within the company. More compensation for such a rare technical skill.
The length of time one can stay in a program or title is not encouraging. If technicians were rewarded and recognized by their achievements, the morale would be positive. Wages can be improved. When you compare the wages throughout the company, you notice in in-balance between technicians.
