Arbroath is a joke. Management running about trying to create jobs for family and friends. No where left to go but layoffs. Somebody will have to see sense before it's too late. Or is it too late ?

Something has got to give. $35 a barrel. Does not take a genius to work out what. Just when !
Still loads coming in from sub con that used to be done in house .
Looks like Carrollton and Singapore will get what's left of the work. No future for Arbroath.
Jeffers and Artie are no fools. Shiny floors and a colourful SQDC board can't hide the Elephant in the room.
Layoffs 2016 . February, that's the start. Then rundown.

To late for that, unless Jeffers is a buffoon he will have seen through the Arbroath mask.

They're having some problems drawing up a list of names to go at Arbroath Manufacturing. There's about 150 employees and only 7 different surnames. Looking at the local workforce I'm unsure if that's down to nepotism or inbreeding. Never seen so many dodgy beards and bad facial hair, the men aren't any better
It's all over guys. The arse fell out of the market as out Top Brass decided to buy Baker. We can work harder, leaner and faster but the truth is, we are all screwed. The takeover is floundering and the outcome unknown ,which has the markets shitting it. Got to work with some good guys, and make decend cash. Take care y'all.
Hali in arbroath and baker bod goiing as they getting told next week by a baker fat cat......told of the meeting next week st start up meeting today so this is fact. Good luck
Whats the story we heard at bod about the probe twins ???
nepotism and favouritism always prevails if you have family connections to your manager or are the type to take a bullet for him then relax your jobs safe.
Arbroath will be next I'm sure they sub all there work as they can't do it and as for BOD eh your closely following Arbroath I've seen 1st hand your top machinists and its not that great the bottom line there's no work for any of the UK facilities only 2 facilities will survive and that's Carrollton and Singapore FACT .
Survival of the fittest, experience will prevail brown nosers will be rooted out then the only way is up
Aberdeen bridge of don ready to pounce,,,,smokies no more livingston no more!!!!
You ken the job inside oot, but you dinna want to do it. Tea anyone?
Too many guys hired during the boom who are not up too the job they will go first stick with the guys who know the job inside out any under 5 year service and have left and come back get rid
Spot on. Out with the old guard and leave us to get on with the new challenges. We ain't given up yet.
Agree with ID: @EDLhfqq-v4y: Way too many old machinist dinosaurs. They will not update their skills, will not update procedures, just keep doing it the way they did it 10-20 years ago even though the product and technology have been updated about 50 times since then. Then they bitch about being fired.
Personally id rather listen to a 20 year plus worker who has seen more knows more and has forgotten more than some jumped up brown nose tosser
Ha ha Rotten apples and sour grapes couldny make this sh!t up.
Never mind the managers.Too many old machinist Dinosaur's been here far too long ,hardly produce all week, but still expect sunday overtime,have limited skill set,bad attitude and gossip around the coffee machine. You're too cumbersome to adapt and survive. Costs need cut!!
