A lot of lower management seems to be out of touch or just doesn't care. They are more worried about saving every penny they can to increase their profit share instead of buying proper equipment that would keep us from being exposed to harsh conditions and chemicals. Certain special tools won't be purchased for machine maintenance so in return techs have to buy the tools out of pocket to avoid hostilities from management and outside sales reps because the equipment can not make money if its down. Certain employees won't do all of their job which in turn forces another employee to pick up the others slack while still having to do their own job while management turns away and ignores the issue. Some employees are close friends with managers and use that to make themselves look higher on the pole and treat coworkers unfairly as far as being unprofessional and creating a false sense of power. As it all comes down to what PC you work at! Some are better than others.
