John – I agree that management has no loyalty to employees. It becomes more and more difficult to care about the job. I see so much half-assed work get done on a daily basis that it just kills me. My lead, who is one of the great 14s that I know, once told me that my own personal work ethic would prevent me from becoming apathetic. My desire to do…[Read more]

Good question, Rod. I too am finding it harder and harder to do my job. Given management’s utter lack of loyalty to employees, and given the fact that there are no opportunities for advancement, I often wonder if it’s worth trying hard to do the best I can.

John, I guess I should have stated that I work BMF (not IMF), so our seasons are a bit different. My department’s been furloughed since July 4th. I suppose that I knew my job was seasonal when I first started, but our season has also shortened since then from 10 months out of the year to 9 months (if we’re lucky).

There are benefits to working…[Read more]
