But then you have poor management that makes everything worse. The tier one supplier I worked for was so poorly managed that they wasted enough to double the wages of every employee on the floor with ease. Management is now filled with idiots with MBA's that have no idea about reality in business. With engineers who have no idea how things actually work. And with short sided accountants who can only see the per part cost of production as they can generate it with book figures that have no basis in reality at all.
Well said , I see this every day at work now compared to even 10 years ago .
Case in point > They buy "cheaper" steel and then we break more drill bits , so they then buy "cheaper" drill bits to offset this . Plus with there new idea of cost reduction of not buy good coolant in our machines and not changing it like it should , everything is harder to get production on time with out more breakage etc .
Then the kicker , ahh Yes we will buy from China , just assemble here , of corse it's cheaper now as they have "@ucked it up so much now , no one can do it as fast as we used to .
One year they decided to quit buying good oil that had seal expander in it to help with leaks . They all pated themselves on their backs , cause they saved that extra money for a that quater . Then 10 years later you should see our coolant as the loving oil leaks into it . I ask if that really was a "cost" saver in the long run and if we could have someone come to our Co meetings and decuss it , I just wanted "someone that gives a **** to come" . Nope no one came . My boss at that time said he guessed "no one really gives a ****" and went on with the meeting
You get a bit pissed when they always say it's the "workers" not working hard enough
