Ralphy Jones, Line Supervisor
The Union Brown has stirred up the pot and now people think they are going to lose their jobs. And then you guys turn up. You’re not making it easier. Look, when you get right down to it, Rob’s not a bad guy. He just wants to make sure GlobalTech to stay in business. And who doesn’t? And compared to what I’ve heard about some union shops, we’re doing okay … trouble-free …mostly. Manufacturing Department The guys here are pretty good. There are a few whiners, there always are. But we get along. They know I’ve been here from the beginning and I want to retire here just like they do. They get that. Employee Morale Okay, ten years ago it was better. Or maybe it wasn’t, maybe my memory is faulty. All I know is that people are nervous. Whenever they hear a rumor about one problem or another, noise starts to happen. And when Jennifer Smith comes around, the noise gets louder. It all affects morale. Your Future Plans Gagnon and I go back a long way. So I’m going to finish here and then I’m going to play golf. Consultants Everybody has to make a buck. Last time we had consultants in here we ended up with bowling teams. That lasted about three months. I still got the T-shirt: Paradigm Shifters. Oh yeah.
Your Role I’m the head super … I make sure things get done the way they’re supposed to. The Problem I’m one of Gagnon’s nine original employees. So when you’ve been around as long as I have a lot of problems come and go. Now? Right now it’s R&D fighting with Sales and Marketing. In this corner in blue trunks it’s … and in this corner in pink it’s … Thoughts on Teams Won’t work. Not on the floor. People here, they like what they got. We keep our heads down and get quality work out the back door on time. Is there more?
