Our standards are low. The issue we have is both our company president and GM are completely out of touch with what the market has done in the last couple years. We lost our spring shop Forman. Going to another company that starts at 2/hr more then what he makes now and he has been here 10 years. I don’t doubt we loose the guy under him shortly. They think our profit sharing bonuses at the end of the year are enough to keep people even though they aren’t guaranteed. I been telling them they need to pay the hourly guys 1-2/hr more and just do smaller bonuses. People would be far happier even if it equates to less at the end of the year. We aren’t wage competitive for the production and shop guys. I think it will take at least two more losses before they realize it which hurts since we are already short staffed. They put out some ads for one of my positions, purchasing mgr, no hits. The wage they put on them is barely competitive for a purchasing agent let alone the manger.
