Micromanaging to the Worst Degree

Scheduler

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

OK benefits, PTO and met some nice people along the way.

Cons

Micromanaging to the extreme! Promote more supervisors, leads, etc to watch you. I guess this is how they justify their jobs. Start evaluating these people from the top and you will find where the issues are. This pilot SRC program had promise but not anymore. Go back to the old ways and cut out this program along with that senior management team.

Johnson Controls Response

Thank you for your feedback as a former Scheduler. Having management that is engaged, responsive and supportive makes all the difference in your career satisfaction. We will share your feedback with the appropriate individuals who can address your issues.
