Another company going overseas and my wife out of work!!

[Bloodyaussie]

Well my wife who is the financial controller of a manufacturing company was right all along and all those dicks in production and sales were way off.

The bosses have come over from China and in the last 4 days she knew it was coming today it is official with production being moved to Asia, well the gaming side of things anyway.

She knew about 4 months ago as all the signs were there and kept telling production to sort there crap out.... they did one job to make 500,000 baby bottle teats and 250,000 were defective?? profit gone loss made.

There have been so many jobs like this and even just in the last month the budget came in for the overtime to do this one really big job of $600,000 thats overtime not wages all up??
The job came over budget and it made a loss of $100,000.

The production teams had no idea of there costing and would treat my wife like shit for being a kill joy to there spend happy attitude and jobs for the boys!!!!

Now a whole factory floor of workers are out of work..about 80 I think and all of management and sales (useless pricks)

My wife is one of the lucky ones as she has been asked to stay to the end to see it all go through.

It pisses me off and you wonder while they are killing us overseas its not just the cheap labour its the shit mindset we have here.......!!!

So about another 100 people out of work and most of them unskilled labour.

We should be good here as the payout will be ok and she is a smart woman who will get work.

Rant over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, that is just so wrong!

For management, the production side, to be that useless and negligent, despite warnings from your wife who is in the job of advising on costs etc., to cause the closure of a plant is just criminal.

ACA or Today Tonight will probably have some bleeding heart story on tonight about how manufacturing is being moved overseas and costing Aussie jobs because the company owners are greedy, rather than reporting the real reason that the Aussies in charge were useless and were running the business into the ground.

I hope your wife is able to land herself a new job without any hassles.

Feed your workers bananas, you get monkeys.
Feed your workers caviar, you get sharks.
No win either way. 3 Bucks a day in china sounds good for the boss, even if half the manufactured products are rejected.
Wish your Missus all the best in her job searching. Right minded people are hard to come by. Tell her to reach for the skies in her future career choice.

I wish your wife luck in finding a new job mate. Not a good time for you to have car problems either.
Good things will come to you

The average Aussie workers need to get there act together or there will be more out of work,
have noticed a lot of factory/production workers very complacent.
Hope boss gets another good job when she finishes BA

I have always been a middle man that believes in hard work pay well for it.... but not get paid just because you are there!!

Then there are the the white collar that think staff are like light bulbs...... not a union man but not a white collar... a hard days work for a fair days pay!!!!!

I went through 5 dumb asses last year and most wanted everything but did stuff all for it... only one was good but it was never a long term thing for him due to Uni and location.

I hate the us against them attitude..

one of the problems is mate that the employee's don't see the big picture. Yes the boss is making more money but it's his balls on the line not theirs. If they don't work hard and help make the buisiness profitable then the company may fold and their out of a job simple as that!

[threedogs]

Sad to hear BA but these days its nothing to do with loyalty its all about the numbers,
Its no wonder everything goes off shore, IMO it stinks, Hope something comes along buddy
Chin up hey

Sorry to here BA, sounds like ur boss is switched on and will pick up work easy.

Yes we do have a lot of lazy workers in the Australian workforce, but why is this so???? Yes I understand company owners are in it to make money and if employee's don't work hard and help make the business profitable then the company may fold and their out of a job, but when employee's see the boss making big profits each year and you as an employee still gets sh!t all for working your arse off then then they become lazy.

I work my arse of each day while I see fellow employee's standing around talking. We have a forklift driver that I think is the laziest person in the whole warehouse yet he gets paid more than me because he is a " Forklift Driver ". The managers know he is lazy yet nothing is said.........

We have had some software mods done for the scanners for the the warehouse staff to help in there daily tasks and make things quicker for us, this software was programmed and paid for well over 6 months ago yet the in-house IT person is to lazy to install it on our scanners.

Don't know where I was going with this......................maybe I should just become a lazy worker like the rest of em
