IT'S NOT DA PAY!
IT'S DA RAY!
Is it low pay, or low morale?
Remember these employee survey comments from last July?
"It would be beneficial for LDPW to take suggestions from employees who have done a specific job for years instead of doing something what they think is right when they don't have the knowledge or the understanding of a job."
and
"Supervisors need to value workers more, and they need to listen to the workers' opinions on jobs and other ideas about doing jobs, not just to do a job the way they want it all the time. The bosses have developed a my way or no way attitude and I think it is a sorry situation. A worker has to work twice as hard because a supervisor wants it his way."
and
"Having been working here at the LPG for 20+ years, I have seen many changes, both good and bad. But out of those years have I not seen more employees dissatisfied and morale so low than it is now. Employees are not afraid of work and will agree that lots of work is getting done, they just don't like the way they are being treated, unfairly. There is no "I" in the word "team" and in order to get a great team effort, employees need to feel like they are part of the team and right now, they don't. Solution: Changes - use the results of this, survey, listen to your employees; don't ignore what they are telling you."
and
"Moral! WHAT MORAL!!! That has been destroyed. How about this for being praised? Being told that we can't be fired but that we can be made miserable, and doing so. Then weeks later being told if you get up in the morning and don't feel like coming to work, it's time to look for another job. Or being told, if your thinking about butting heads with me, think again, cause you're not going to win. Or giving your all to someone you know if given a chance would fire you. Instead, they try to find a mistake we may have made, then told no matter how much you do, it's not enough. Even Memo's could be sent in a more civilized way, instead of, if you don't do this or that you will be reprimanded or terminated. We are civilized people who can understand command rather than somewhat of a threat."
Sometimes it ain't the pay, Ray. It's treating people with a little respect.
