For context I am a Technician in the electronics field. We just got our performance reviews after having record product shipped and profits every month for almost a year. This is in a state with a 10.9% inflation rate we got a 3% raise….
Then this happened today.
Just had some engineers from another company on a tour come by and stop while I was running some automated tests. They asked some questions and then the guy from our company giving them the tour made a joke about manufacturing technicians not doing anything these days… I didn’t laugh, Neither did the visiting engineers. Shows how upper management and leaders feel about our contribution to the company…
