What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Managers need to be more considerate of how employees are being treated and need to hire more to cover the work.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Currently lacking people to cover spots on shifts. If we had more coverage, there would be less issues on the floor. Which managers seem to not care about.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Yes they do. They're lazy and do not cover as needed. Can't find them anywhere and if you do, they're always at a meeting when things are going wrong on the production floor. They disappear like roaches when lights are turned on.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

We need more coverage. Coworkers get easily aggravated and start calling in to work making overtime inevitable. We have many with family issues who use fmla and are gone for weeks at times. Others use bogus excuses and are given time off also while the rest of us cover for them. We are tired!!
