I Hate My Job With A Fierce Passion Club

[ponchonlefty]

Well this fucking sucks donkey balls. I still have a job, I'm still okay, but they fired my boss/mentor/supervisor out of the blue, as part of a planned "restructuring." They're apparently planning an all-staff meeting next week to go over the short term and long term plans for the rest of us.

this could go good or bad. you might get a higher position or fired. good luck.

I gotta mull some things over this weekend. Why would I take a promotion when, for years, I've seen the Chief Officers wring out our production managers and hang 'em up to dry? The C-Suite makes decisions and expects responses day by day and week by week, but the process of brewing beer simply doesn't move that fast - it'll take about 3 weeks, sometimes 4 weeks to take a beer from grain to glass. We physically can't get a special order of beer brewed on Monday and have it packaged and on a truck by Friday, and that's the hangup that every single Production Manager I've worked under (3 so far) have been driven out of the company for.

I can foresee a scenario wherein the company sells off all their assets, then the CEO and CFO get a golden parachute and a pat on the back. I can also see a scenario wherein they maintain or increase our production expectations, but with a substantially smaller staff, since they've already talked about quadrupling our output in 2025 (which would necessitate adding a second shift of production).
