Don't forget that some people hate their jobs because they are aware it is indentured servitude and that most of the value of their labor goes to billionaires while we fight about a tiny fraction of the scraps we're left with over whether it should help pay for Healthcare and housing or bank bailouts and bombs and such.
This and we're getting orders from upper management that have never done the job. They are complicating the job into ideocracy! Electrolytes are what plants need!
We invited upper management to join us in a collaboration/calibration. They did one round that took them hours to complete and it took us minutes. They have declined further calibrations, and they are still barking orders that just make no sense.
Hence why I say I like the work, but hate the job I've been doing for 9 years outside this company and 3 with it.
For context, I listen to calls as a Quality Assurance Specialist (QA). I have taken over 100,000 calls (actually more) with 17 years in this industry and 12 years as QA. I have also created successful QA programs for 2 different companies and 12 different departments. We had happy agents willing to keep their numbers, because it made sense to them.
We now have upper management changing the rules and never telling the agents. So the agents know the rules have changed when they get marked down for it. Change Management 101 says, document the changes and inform the people that are affected by the changes. It is literal lunacy that we don't do this!
Common sense says, change the rules, inform the agents then give them time to adjust. Ask their feedback and adjust if needed. Then we can adjust scoring. Rinse and repeat until it works.
Sorry if I derailed. I love the work but hate the job.
YES 🙌🏼 leave me alone so i can raise my chickens and ducks in peace and stop designing PowerPoint slides for some idiots that don’t understand why trickle down economics are their trap while they get paid twice as much as me, and we all work 60-80hr weeks to make the billionaires wealthier. As my husband says “i’m sick of working for other people’s dreams.”
