Wanted: Entry level job at a labratory

[chapomon]

As of last week, I am officially unemployed. Why you may ask? Well, the pencil pushers of our warehouse decided that they were going to test out new carts in my area of work to see if the carts increase our productivity. After a month of everyone having tested the cart for a week each, they decided that the carts increased productivity by 50% based

It took guts to follow through and quit when your pansy boss brought that up...if you had valid points, it's a pity he's not enough of a human being to look into it. "I'll solve this problem by getting rid of the person complaining" happens all over the place.

I wish you luck in getting a new job--that's the down side to sticking to your guns. :/

Yeah, I was very nervous about seeing him, watching the time fly by and everyone running to clock in then I was waiting to see him. He did say I made good points and he wanted to see if he can get people for maintenance to fix the new carts up to address those issues. Though I would have prefer that he actually work with those carts for a day with an employee that was of a short stature like most people in that area and see if they were productive. The supervisor says he worked in our department a few weeks ago though I didn't see him but admitted that he had yet to try the new carts out himself.

I may not have succeeded but I stood up for what I believed in and what I felt was right; I'm dam proud of myself. And as they say, when one door closes, another one opens.

Erf :/
Sorry about that.
I hate coporations for that reason.

I really wouldn't say it was the corporation that enforced the new carts on us, it was whatever the supervisor felt would improve productivity which is a pressure he gets pushed on by trying to reduce cost for the corporation. Mostly, I feel that he needed to try to make himself look less expendable since this year is the first time in a long time that whole warehouse inventory had to be redone and under his watch too. Oh well, you can't really change the system; well, perhaps if the country went Red or something.
