Watlow Electric Manufacturing Response
2yThanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience at Watlow. We understand that the work environment and career growth are important to you, and we appreciate your honest feedback.
We are sorry to hear that you felt everyone was always on edge and that the workplace had a lot of pressure. At Watlow, we aim to create a positive and supportive atmosphere where employees can thrive. We genuinely value our long-term employees and want to provide them with opportunities to advance their careers.
Regarding the recent furloughs, this was a difficult decision. Our decision to furlough some of our team members was based primarily on market conditions and business needs. It is our desire to be as fair as possible, which is why we are extending COBRA coverage, at Watlow’s expense, for all affected team members during this time. Please know that we always strive to make decisions that benefit the company and our employees as a whole.
We also hear your concerns about the contractors, and understand that it can be frustrating when it seems like some people aren't pulling their weight. We will definitely take a closer look at the situation you've highlighted.
We appreciate your advice regarding management. We're constantly working on improving our leadership skills and creating a supportive environment for our employees. Your feedback is valuable and we will seriously consider it as we continue to manage our workforce.
