Tons of potential being wasted to mismanagement of talent and resources. - Factory Manager PFG Optics Employee Review

I am near retirement having worked for a dozen multi billion dollar corporations. I have never witnessed such abuse of the workforce and public humiliation in my career. The calibration system was a mess. Production equipment was not maintained. Production flow was disjointed as scrap materials were kitted for new production resulting in each part being in a different status as jobs flowed adding unnecessary cycle time and addition defects. Management would call all hands meeting and publicly humiliate employees. In 6 weeks I hit production records because I understood that additional capability lies in respecting the workers. I hit a production record on a Friday and was laid off on a Monday. I found the production constraint. It was in managements disrespect for the talent they had. They will always have high turnover and operators who struggle for a sense of self worth. Stanley Marcus had a saying. They day you stop remodeling is the day you start going out of business.
