E2 Optics Response
9yThanks for your feedback. We are glad to hear you feel good about working with us. As far as working for us, other than in extremely rare situations and only with the most senior people, E2 Optics does not ask employees to sign employment agreements. As a Technician, there would have been no contract or employment agreement to lose. We, therefore, are completely confused as to the “contract” to which you refer. We do ask all employees (and have recently expanded this to include contractors working with us through staffing agencies) to sign standard non-disclosure/non-solicitation agreements. As with the regular review of our various practices and policies, we have recently updated these agreements. Just like we ask employees to sign new Employee Handbook acknowledgments each time the Handbook is revised, we are requesting employees do the same with the latest NDA/NSA.
Generally, employees receive a formal performance appraisal at least once annually. As noted in other Glassdoor responses, some teams are already receiving feedback sessions as frequently as quarterly. The Ashburn team, of which you were a part, conducted appraisals in the fourth quarter of 2015 and again in 2016. We can only assume you received feedback during those times. We are not in the practice of guaranteeing raises or promotions. Naturally, those activities occur in alignment with performance, team efforts and dependability, and, in the case of promotions, business need. We are sorry if there was some misunderstanding, and wish you the best.
