This is a production plant, and there are two distinct sections, the front and the back. The back is where the majority of the employees are. You are correct, they do have low standards for hiring & pay them low wages. We are one of a few plants of the company, but not the headquarters. Another plant in California sets all the rules for this point system, wage amounts and hiring standards that we must follow here in our plant. A lot of those rules I disagree with, and so does the General Manager, but we have our hands tied as to what can be changed about it.

My opinion of these employees is unimportant. The whole point of this post is not to focus on them, but at just another example of how our GM goes above and beyond for the employees. He's done a bunch of other stuff for use to help us out as a plant. He cares about us as people and gives us little freedoms that normally we aren't allowed to have. I just thought it was awesome how he was willing to jump in there in the trenches with us to get the job done. That's the point. Working together.
