Most of us have worked for FMC proudly for years. Management was appreciative and supportive of their employee’s contributions to the success of the company. In the last couple of years things have begun to change. It no longer seems that there are policies, procedures, and standards that guide our company. A prime example of this is the Facilities group! As the company continues to lay-off good, hardworking, experienced, knowledgeable people, this group seems to have a blatant disregard for what is going on around them in the company. They continue to have “Team-building” events at company expense, lunches for their team, pass their work on to others, and do not come to work consistently, yet still continue to get paid. Most would say this is stealing money from the company! Yet HR and the facilities manager seem to turn a blind eye to what is going on. It is hard to believe that a facilities person could do their work from home. You would think they would need to be on-site to do their work effectively.
If we have people that don’t even need to be at work to do their job, maybe we are paying them too much or we don't even need that position. Use that money to save someone’s job that is actually working for the company’s success.
To those of us that continue to work hard for the company’s success, this kind of blind eye brings low morale and a spread of discontent that is unhealthy for any company. It is time for upper management to manage and bring back standards and pride to our company.
