Lack of planning and training
I know this rant doesn't pertain much to my training courses in the kitchen, but I think I've found the norm for most all factory and warehouse work in the area, maybe even the country. It is a given that all training, reasoning, and communication goes completely out of the window when one gains employment within a factory or warehouse. Monday morning we were down and there was another C.I.P. that I thought I was going to be responsible for since it's in my job description. When we were assigned jobs at the beginning of the night, I was surprised to find that I was to be washing moulds and a creme attendant would be responsible for the C.I.P. What?!?! I went to my boss and asked him what the deal was. His reply was that C.I.P. was the creme attendants responsibility and I would only be need when he was on vacation. Hello?!?! Ya think I still may need to learn the job? I even took the time to look up my job responsibilities and show him that C.I.P. was the reworks responsibility. He then said "well, just let Charles do it tonight, he needs to learn it too." Are you kidding me? This man spent four years in the Army and has a master's degree in International Affairs, how is it possible that he is a complete idiot? The Job Safety Analysis says each employee shall have three to five nights of training for the Cleaning In Place responsibilities. I have only received one. As if that wasn't enough, I found out this morning that my training time in the kitchen will end on June 21st. Mike Gordon (my trainer) will be going to his new position on the 24th, and my "rework" duties will also begin on that date. On top of that, we had a "start up" tonight to begin running the symphony kisses (mind you, I have not been part of a start up yet in the kitchen) and I was put into the position of demoulding. Basically I banged molds against a plastic roller tonight in order to get stuck kisses out of the moulds. Besides that, they placed a temporary/contractor employee in my position which is a higher skill level than demoulding. I was less than pleased to say the least. How in the world has this company not gone bankrupt?
