Gränges reviews

Unorganized management approach and informal decision making. Often a "which way is the wind blowing" approach to priorities, and never a long term commitment to focus and strategy. Plant management is restricted on ability impact to urgent plant needs by often disconnected upper management. Far too many members in management, and not enough hands on employees to get the actual work done.

Management heavily micromanages day-to-day tasks—approximately 80% of your time is scripted, leaving little room for autonomy or real problem-solving. Zero investment in improvement initiatives; no budget, no tools, and minimal support to drive meaningful change. Emphasis is placed on visibility and performative involvement over actual results or maintenance effectiveness. The culture among upper management is toxic, with frequent backstabbing and blame-shifting to protect personal interests. High turnover in the maintenance manager role speaks volumes—six managers in recent history is not a coincidence. Future managers: be prepared to prioritize optics over substance. Playing the part and appeasing leadership may get you further than doing the actual work.
