To everyone working in factories, workshops, labs, healthcare, etc, do your bosses and managers treat the machines and instruments you work with like they're pure gold? I honestly sometimes feel like pieces of hardware which are worth less than our yearly pay are worth more to my boss than me and my colleagues. I got berated for asking for a raise, one of my colleagues got fired because “he wasn't pulling his weight”, and yet the company spends tens of thousands of dollars on scrap, second-hand equipment which we don't use.
Thoughts? I guess I just wanted to vent…
