Honestly one of the most humiliating jobs I have ever had. They hire people with bachelor degrees in engineering, then insist on keeping them as quality technicians, while hiring temp employees in R&D. Clear favoritism was shown in terms of who they promoted, and who they gave special projects to. They silence creativity, belittle their employees by monitoring their bathroom and food break times, "monitor and track" employees' clock-in and clock-out times to the minute (which nobody in other departments experiences), communicate new instructions exclusively by word of mouth (so that half of us wouldn't know what the new rules are), and micromanage to no end. I can understand if a time-sensitive project necessitates short-term micromanagement, but this was constant and showed no signs of stopping. Since the post-market area is the only department on the first floor with everything else on the second floor, nobody even knew we existed, and we were always forgotten in community-building efforts within the company. The work itself is incredibly monotonous, which is fine, but they kept pushing to have us complete more and more tasks per day, to the point where none of us felt comfortable sacrificing that much quality for quantity. Furthermore, we were extremely limited in our training. We were not allowed to communicate with other departments through email, and one employee in particular was very publicly reprimanded for doing so. We also weren't allowed to go to QA training sessions, as these were seen as a waste of time. The entire point of this position is to stay FDA-compliant, so why were the employees not allowed to attend training sessions that fostered FDA compliance?
