Svantaggi
- Under appreciated. - Management ignore good work and don't commend. - Management had their 'favourite' staff members. - Management at times would disappear for hours on end, only to be found sitting in the canteen with their fellow managers. - Management and section leaders would sometimes come across as very unprofessional especially when discussing other colleagues. - Management would also ignore what workers suggested or requested, for example: holiday leave or departmental transfers. - Have to be very thorough when noting pay and hours and very wary of management in general, the management and office workers were not very trustworthy or reliable. - Technology was very outdated and certified safe equipment was always scarce. - It was clear that to work well with the management and the section leaders you had to basically give in to every command they ordered without question. - Anyone who was "different" or "didn't work as hard" as the management or section leaders was usually spoken about in a very negative manner. - Hypocrisy and inconsistency were rife within the business. - Managers acted as if they were untouchable and were not responsible for any action they took. They were very good at passing the blame. - Certain procedures just add complication to the working environment. - Management were always pushing for workers to work overtime, even when the answer was a categorical no. - Always felt that management and section leaders were very judgemental and that there was a hidden motive. - Very sloppy at making sure workers are 100% satisfied and happy, it took over two years to realise that someone had not actually been properly trained.
