The Linde North America experience - Recensione dipendente - Plant Management presso Linde

The one word that comes to mind immediately is micromanagement. Linde is chock full of it . It never has worked & never will . Linde also has a habit of merely talking the talk as walking the walk would cost more . Crazy shemes like mailing safety postcards to every employee over ride such important matters as equipment upgrades. To change a pump motor for example requires navigating through massive layers of corporate beuracracy if one has the patience for it to begin with. Centralising maintenence & filling facilities in North America is a chronic problem that leads to cost increases across the board. North America is not Europe, it's massive & the policy is not remotely logical in that matter. They claim to want & be an HPO , all talk of course as that would mean a fundimental mindset change & spending a huge amount of money . Linde like to talk about things. They're nowhere near as enthusiastic about acting on their talk.
