Workplace Rant....What to do?? Kinda Long...Sorry

There is many reasons a business can be losing money. It may or may not have anything to do with the slackers on the floor. Could be sales or estimators under bidding jobs. Could be purchasing overpaying for materials. Failure to accept and purchase new technology making the operations less efficient than others. The business may be burden with to much debt. Might be a combination of all these.

Anyways I read through the thread again.

There it is on the last paragraph of your eighth post in this thread #31 you finally said something positive about someone you work with. It was about one of your supervisors right before you bashed the others in the same paragraph.

I'm not discounting or disagreeing with anything your saying. Just pointing out there needs to be a balance. Nobody, even the owner wants to hear everything that's wrong all the time even when they ask. The situation is still in the early stages and can play out any number of ways. Hopefully if you demonstrate in addition to your bust *** work skills that you can accept responsibility, have the right attitude, respect others and communicate well. It sounds like this could play out in your favor and I hope it does.

On your way to the top just remember there is a real art to encouraging and keeping employees motivated and it played out with you at work. When you were called a company terrorist how did that feel? If you don't remember look at your early postings. Then the power of encouragement and praise form the CFO and your supervisor in the meetings later. How did that make you feel? Probably pretty good and rightfully so. You don't have to turn a blind eye to the wrongs, it's all about how you deal with them that counts in the end.

Thanks, I completely agree with you. Over the last 24hrs I've been evaluating myself and agree that now that I've spoken up VERY LOUDLY, I do need to be more positive about what needs to happen...and I assure you I will. If you met me in person, I'm actually an upbeat, friendly kinda guy. To get the ball rolling on this, last night I came up with an outline on how new hires and struggling employees need to be trained and what training is needed. I typed it up and turned it into my boss this morning and he was impressed with how quickly I came up with it and very much agreed that it's a great start. The area lead agreed as well. I told them that they can adjust it or add to it anything they think is pertinent as well, so they printed copies and took those home to ponder. We agreed by next Friday we would have the list made up and some actions put into place already.
The CFO came in this morning and very much liked what he saw as well.
Now, more about the positive things. I get along very well with nearly all my coworkers. Most of us are in the same age group. We joke, laugh, hang out outside of work, go do stuff and whatnot. We're a pretty close-knit group of guys. I even get along with some of the 2nd shifters and I'm even nice to the guys who are constantly producing rework, etc.
Even when I approached the CFO in the beginning I didn't degrade anyone I just told him that I'm sure some of these guys are nice guys but this just may not be their line of work. Maybe they've come from a repetitive type of job and just can't adapt to the fast paced, constantly changing kinda job shop?. So, yes, I was nice about it, in a frustrated kinda way, lol.
