Thanks for the review. I appreciate the Pros and the Cons and certainly will use your feedback to try to improve our company. As you know, ASC strongly believes in a balance between "values" and "performance" when evaluating employees. What this means is that your skill as a fabricator is important to us, but we are also interested in the values you bring to the workplace. Values include team work, positive attitude, safety awareness, quality focus, and other non-performance attributes.
You mention me valuing "loyalty" over "skills". You are partially correct on this. For years I have pushed our managers to value those employees who play a positive role at ASC, are generally happy with their job, and are generally happy with the company. No one likes to work with negative people, and I'm no different. We still certainly want everyone at ASC to have great performance and skill, but it's not the only thing that's important to us.
As for comment about "doesn't listen to anybody on from the floor" and "Fear doesn't mean respect", I appreciate your openness on this comment. ASC's management works every day to improve how we communicate to employees, but this doesn't mean we always get it right. The stress of production, schedules, and manpower can often create situations where managers and supervisors don't not listen to the employee when they should and/or don't treat the employee with proper respect when issuing directives. We're all people and people make mistakes, but I can tell you that we are working every day to reduce these issues and correct the behavior that creates discontent. Thanks again for your review.
