I'm in IT as a junior analyst for one of GM's subsidiaries and I've just got to rant.
I'm the only IT personnel on this shift (4p to 4a) and I just started about a month ago. No training, knowledge base, and was not provided tools even though it's a technician role (brought in my own to break). I also wasn't told what I'd be working until the end of the first week. And even then they told me it only be 10 hours a day Mon-Fri. About a month later, I've worked no less than 74 hours every week.
I got COVID right before easter and was told to come in for the remaining two days or I'd receive “points”. This is something all non-office workers have to follow (and of course the office guys don't come in on weekends and work 8hr days).
The production line workers are a topic in themselves. Our managers literally yell at them every time their break is one minute from being over like there in school (They get 15s every 2 hours). They can't keep any new hires for more than a week because they aren't told how long they're going to be working, and when they find out they bail. Not to mention they can't bring their own headphones and have to BUY our branded ones if they want to listen to music.
And this is probably too specific to my job, but they spent $700,000 two months ago on production improvements centered around training. This ended up slowing everything down. I've had to twist my managers arm to set up recycling for batteries too, but we still throw whole laptops, monitors, and whatever else isn't supposed to go in the trash, in the trash.
I also hate having to choose between doing laundry and having a good night's sleep.
