Multiple people operate the same piece of equipment. When a problem occurs while the equipment is in operation, the person driving it at the time is held responsible.
The equipment is old, and many consumables are outdated as well. However, if repairs are needed too often, the boss will also blame the person operating it at the time.
The pay is low, raises are slow, and the boss has a tough attitude. When the equipment has problems, the boss only blames the driver, saying it was caused by poor operation.
The employee turnover rate is high, the work environment is very dusty, and the equipment is in poor condition. Management relies on seniority to assert authority.
Cliques are a serious problem. Reporting them to the boss is ineffective, and the boss will find ways to make you “resign voluntarily.”
