Was full time, hours cut company wide apparently. Cross training is great but sometimes too many positions make it difficult to focus on one properly. Management needs training on diversity and how to speak with ALL employees. If we are 14 people in a unit and two are minorities-technically3-but one works extremely hard and does an outstanding job; the other two take their time, rarely assist rest of team and NEVER get yelled at or spoken to loudly or told to work harder and faster. The Hispanics walk slowly and drag their job out to work the whole day, while the rest of us are rushed and told to do mor and faster. Management won't speak negatively to them because they are minorities, all the while the Caucasians get yelled at, given more jobs to complete and told to work faster. Reverse discrimination is in full force here and it's sad. Job discriptions say must be able to read and write and understand English, but seems to be ok here that they can't. People are very tired of picking up the slack and getting yelled at. If we are such a diverse company, why are the whites treated so poorly and Hispanics treated so gently?? If someone can't do their job and more responsibility as we all do, why are they still employed?? If we complain, we get told that if it doesn't directly affect our job to mind our own business......very sad situation. It's as if the hispanics can't and won't be told to do more because of their ethnicity and equal rights and discrimination and all but it's not fair. If any other staff tried to milk their job and stretch out their responsibility to last their perspective work times we would be told not to, but not the hispanics. Massachusetts units need looking into, more management training in area of staff communication and how to spread the workload around and how to motivate the hispanics to work harder and faster like the rest of the staff. Also, when premeal discussion comes around and ends with "does anyone have any questions, comments or complaints"; and we know if we the caucasians speak up and do have a complaint, the while environment turns hostile and then told to discuss in private and that won't ever happen because if someone does complain management goes directly on defense mode and things aren't addressed. It's sad, very sad that someone cannot complain about a minority for fear of beeing seen as racist, but when someone cannot do their full job and more as assigned, they should by policy be spoken to, written up, retrained or fired. Please look into Massachusetts units, its just not right!! And where does it say in our handbook that the more money rate per hour you make the more responsibility you have?? There is no "I" in team but not everyone is treated the same on our team and it is definately a stressful work environment when two people do as they please while the rest of us multitask, it's not right and needs to be addressed!!!!!!!!!!
