I woke up this morning and it dawned on me that I don't have to go to work today! No, I don't have vacation per say but it is 2 days away. I actually have a 2 day seminar to go to and it is called How to Communicate with Diplomacy and Professionalism. Do I really need to go to a class on this? Maybe not, but they don't know that and besides the more classes and seminars you go to, the happier they become. I have become more and more obnoxious at work so this is actually the PERFECT time for me to take this class.
When your company stoops to making up positions for the new Quality Director's friend or when your company hires ANOTHER human resource person or in this case a generalist, it is a little frustrating. We now have 3 full time and 1 part time personnel in that department. All that for 150 employees! OH and the newest one was added to the full time list. And you have the nerve to ask "How can we save money, please email me your ideas cost savings." I can give you 2 suggestions right now! We stoop to color codes, to communicate the financial stability of the company, right now we are yellow. We fire several people and don't rehire new people to replace them. You get the burden of "Hurry up, that needs to ship today. Who cares if it is not "just right", ship it anyways. It needs to go today, hurry, hurry, hurry, go faster, why did you reject that, it is fine, faster I said faster."
What bugs me about this is, our company is an ESOP and right now with the fools they have running the place are going to drive it into the ground. We always hear "This is your company" I say "Bullshit, on that! We have no say about these things or anything for that matter."
OK, rant over, I am going to get more coffee....
Oh, the new chick in human resources, her daddy is the Director of Finance...go figure that one!
I think that many people need to learn how to communicate. At my job I am constantly surrounded by unprofessional behavior.
ReplyDeleteIts nice you care about what happens where you work. I use to ignore everything going on around me at work.
ReplyDeleteThis post reminded of when I trained for a job at Dell Computer. I couldn't believe how little the training helped prepare me for the job. The real training did't start until I started doing the actual job.
Can you please tell me how you got your blog colors that way. The sidebar is a different color than the post background and the side boaders are different from both of those. My blog is all one color, one background color is all I can change.
