I’m posting this on behalf of my brother in law, as he doesn’t visit Reddit much. “I've been working at my job now for 7 years, since graduating highschool. I've worked my way up to the position I'm in currently. Started as a welder, moved to progressive stamping operator now I'm in quality. About a year ago I was given a slight pay bump because I was doing a lot more than just my quality job. I knew how to do every job in the department including the highest paying job. Management moved someone else into the department, she was well over the attendance points but they all wanted in her pants, so they gave her the job I was “working”.

Not a complaint. Not sure if this is allowed since it isn’t really anti work. But like the title says, my store manager asked me for ideas to engage with employees. I’m a shift lead. Didn’t really know what to say besides have more in person 5 minute meetings. All of our 5 minute meetings are conducted by recording over theatro (name for communication device). Thought you guys might also have some ideas. Like things you might’ve liked done at your place of work.
