Not surprising, an MT would likely not be able -

to afford childcare (probably a major reason for becoming an MT in the first place), or to get the car fixed, etc. And every person has personal problems, and needs time off for a vacation, even if it's a couple of days. Nowadays we're even hounded about taking sick days, when we're SICK! And in my experience, it's often right about the time you land a new job that things in your personal life start to go awry. It's just the way life is, and Murphy's Law. Employers never seem to factor that into the equation with employees. That same old tired song and dance that if we can't function like machines, maybe we'll be replaced by them instead. I never took my vacations in large lumps, anyway; instead took a day here, two there, throughout the year. So yes, I AM 'always asking for time off'. But that just means I'm taking care of business, or my health, or my car, or my sanity. My job is important, but it is not my LIFE, as so many MTSOs out there seem to think it should be.

not surprising
A lot of these guys are just "suits" with no experience in this dept whatsoever. They usually have something else going on in other areas, so this is just not a priority to them, unfortunately.
it's not surprising....
that when people leave a job they lash out at the company, when in fact they need to take a good look in the mirror and ask themselves what prompted them to be let go. Shapin is a team company...that is just how we are and maybe some people just aren't cut out to be team members. So be it! Move on! If you don't like the wages, don't work here. Facts are that that is what the pay is. No one has the right to tell me what I should make and what I shouldn't. There is plenty of work to be done here, so if you want constant work in a very friendly, family oriented atmosphere, please apply. As for the disgruntled ex-employees.....get a life!
Not surprising...
I'm shocked they've lasted this long.....That company sucks and their format is horrible. JMO.....used to work there.....but not for long!!!
Nothing surprising about an MT -----
having a bone to pick with a company. The only thing that truly surprises me these days is that with the way this business has gone the toilet for us all in recent years (and it certainly hasn't been for any lack of trying, or skill, or work ethic on the part of the MT), that one or more individuals havn't ultimately snapped, with the result being a tragedy. Look at what can happen to a youngster as a result of being bullied at school. Workplace bullying doesn't just happen between co-workers, or between boss and subordinate, it can happen between a company, or even an industry, and it's entire workforce.
I sometimes have to laugh at the mentality that says, 'If I just work really hard, keep my nose to the grindstone and my mouth shut, even when they cheat me, belittle me, and jerk me around, I'll be fine. Nothing bad will happen to me.' Not unlike all those fools who run with the bulls in Pamplona every year.... the ones who end up on the business end of a set of horns always thought it could never happen to them.
That is not surprising. Typical for how she treats people.
