Risposta di Disc Makers
8yI get it. You don't like management. However, let me address a few of the concerns you mention.
We have a large staff of almost 400 working around the clock. They can't all report to a handful of VPs. We need management infrastructure to make sure our customers are satisfied, our staff gets the development opportunities they deserve, and our improvement projects get done. The busy work you refer to is the all-important task of communicating in every department what is working, what we can do better, and how to get there. I am proud of the management team we have, and of the modern management techniques we use to steer this business through choppy waters.
Specific to your print industry comment, we pride ourselves on paying salaries competitive with the market and providing an extensive benefits package that includes PTO, health insurance, 401k and education assistance programs to name a few. In today's economy, if you regularly pay under market you can't attract or retain talent. We have several individuals in our print shop who left, and after some time came back because the grass was actually greener on the Disc Makers side. And we have a bunch more who came here after the print shops they worked at went out of business. With the addition of book publishing, our printing operations are growing and are one of the more exciting departments to work in.
