Very wide right Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Good Luck CBF oops too late but better later than never Glad it worked out well, CBF. BTW Nanker helped me with the size issue. ponder that fella's shite happens when you get older and rely on an income to sustain a home and pay bills. nothing wrong will a little emotion I would tend to agree if this is a retail position but if someone is in a professional career and they cry before a meeting that unfortunately demonstrates weak management and poor hiring choices.No organization could possibly be successful with employees like that.

John from Riverside Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Crying? No offense but you work with some weak individuals.If I was in charge and I saw people crying those people would be gone.You cannot be successful with weak minded people on the payroll.Is this a retail store? Those same crying people would be the ones kicking your ass in the parking lot Peoples livelihood is no joke.....not sure if your joking or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I cry very easily...granted I am not management nor do I ever aspire to it, and have never cried over work related issues.

Very wide right Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Stay classy!! Ohhh rah. LOL, Gugny you apparently don't understand that a business leader either answers to stock holders or their own livelihood depends on employee performance.I don't know if you ever worked in a professional environment but employees that cry in the workplace are not in demand.A CEO or business manager wouldn't be worth much if they allowed a person like this to stay on the payroll.This would not make them without class just smart and effective.

I have a few UNSUB sweatshirts and t-shirts that I wear to work out. When I was back home recently, not really thinking about it, I wore one into a Dibella's Sub shop. The people working behind the counter were VERY amused by my shirt, thinking it had to do with sandwiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fabricated parts from raw metal to finished products ready for assembly. Every piece that is rejected for quality, overshipment, undershipment, etc is a metric hit. This was 300 pcs for quality, a hit that is bigger then standard shipping or packaging. Therefore, it was a huge hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be set until through Feb 2016, maybe longer. Really hoping for temp to perm. If you don't mind me asking (don't have to answer)... Do they pay you more or less than before? Not trying to be rude or too forward, just curious... They lay off and then hire back? I do understand the economy and market ebbs and flows, but I wonder what the end result/bottom line is. My guess is they want no strings attached. The world's is a sucky, unloyal place. :-( Hope it works out in YOUR favor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No benefits, no health care, no 401K. They laid off because they were not bringing new work orders. Things have picked up and if it continues they may and I say may hire people back. I know of 1 young guy they hired back a few months ago I believe full time. I've run into a few people who are very happy to see me back and would give me props later when the time comes. and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbeau Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) If they've put a consultant over your group to make your group more efficient (not sure if I read your post right) cooperate with that person in every way available. Maybe they are just after efficiencies but having been brought in they already have managements ear, so at least they report back your value to your position. I deal with engagement managers all the time so I know a bit on how they operate. VWR...you are indeed an idiot. Tom, check's in the mail.
