Greengate Gettiing Smaller

I believe in an effort to reduce costs they have now sold the offices to another company.
Whilst the office space was always too large, despite grand plans from the management team, selling and reducing footprint certainly sounds like a desperate measure. At least that’s what our competitors are saying to the customers.
Mono sales and team shrinking due to strong competition, beginning of the end before someone buys them.

This behaviour has been going on for years, at least 40 that I know.
Management have created this and the current lot are too interested in saving their own careers, they won’t rock the boat until they have to.
Eve when orders have been slow, there has always been overtime working to lose sure they could find their luxury cars.
Will never change until the place closes!

Big chief not happy. See what happens to many heads in rubber shop and machine shop. The new pump will see people lose there jobs he's only here for a reason cut heads and cost. Supervision are shocking .they are scared to tell people off who are doing nothing but talk all day ie . Packing do nothing all week and then she gives them overtime for there great work .

Will take more than that although fully agree that the management team is inexperienced and only in it for what they can get with minimum effort!
Overtime at weekends has been a joke for many years. I remember times when they were making cuts due to lack of orders but still they justified overtime for a few. Probably the ones driving the expensive cars in the car park!
