It's always from the top down yall, always. I am so sick and tired of seeing good companies run amuck because of bad leadership. Lord am I exhausted of seeing good managers being worn down by their managers. Do not get me started hw the downhill effect cuz I can go on.
We are always hiring, always. The pay is good, so why can't we fill slots. Because of the environment and culture that surrounds the work force. When you are constantly beating down your employees, taking away every single incentive and on top of that make working conditions even more miserable than they were 5 years ago. Yall, why would people want to work here? I got my wife a job here, at first they wouldn't even interview her for an entry level job at the forge I work at that's been vacant and continues to be vacant for 7 months now. She got a job at the assembly plant, cool you know a woman making $19hr starting. No benefits at all for 90 days. Yall we offer 2 weeks PTO and 1 week Sick. It's dope. But nothing at all for new hires. We have a 4 point attendance system. 4 points your immediately fired. She got a half point for being 20 minutes late for a flat tire. That shit doesn't fall off until next year! That shit ruined her motivation a bit.
When you treat your employees like shit, they treat new hires like shit. When there is no reward to working harder, why work harder? Put up the numbers that's required of you, and no more. Sure you can push it and look good, but if pride ain't your thing then why push?
Treat your employees, ALL OF THEM, with respect and dignity and I promise you we will work hard for you even if there is no additional incentive. It's that fucking simple sometimes. Don't have your supervisors and maintenance staff on their hands and knees scrubbing and painting floors just because fuck mouth Mcgee from corporate is company. Just rude yall, just rude
