another one??!!?!
haha, yes this is another update. my feet are killing me!! it was just sooooooo hot in the factory, but we will survive! it could be worse. so i hear. haha. i did get my raise today so i'm very excited for that. work well, hmm. had kinda a rough night. lemme start from the begining... 2 weeks ago we got a customer call that our part had a left lid when it should've been right wel we all have different colored markers so that when a customer calls they can know who it was. well, i'm white and 2 people share green, tony was really really mad at this because it's a silly mistake, but and easy one to make, he said that he'd give the person who did it a free pass, well it was beth so they said we better not let it happen again or they are getting wrote up. well tommorow i'm being called back to get a verbal warning, and i'm just really upset by it. because it was me and we did get a customer call on it, the biggest problem is that the machine that checks to make sure we've got the right lid on isn't working right so our pokeyokes don't work which means that they can't tell if it's right or not. and another thing is that alicia has to check and mark each part at the end of the line that it is 100% the right part, so this part get's through everything, and i mean i was doing my very very best to check and double check each lid, but out of 1500 parts a day one got through and yes it is my fault but, i'm really frustrated because i'm getting wrote up over it, i've made 2 mistakes since i've been there and they've been my first time making that mistake but i got wrote up everyone else has been given a second chance and i haven't i mean i am litterally not allowed to make a mistake because i get wrote up for it, and i understand that and all but i feel like i'm being picked on because we've had other customer calls in the last few weeks for different reasons and it's not these peoples first time making the mistake but no one has got wrote up over it, and i think it has a lot to do with well tonys getting a lotta hit from the big bosses and they wanna see people get wrote up for these reccuring mistakes, i'm the only one on that line that will not argue that will admit i made a mistake and not get all attitudy and stuff and tony knows it to. everyone else fights and argues and yada yada, so i think i've become a really good target for write ups. and i'm a really hard worker i go above and beyond everyday, i get there 30 mins early and do the pm checklist because no one else will, i stay a few mins extra and take care of the scrap at the end of the night because now one else will. i don't argue when i'm asked to do or learn something new i just do it. i don't complain either, now i'm by no means perfect but im doing the best i can and i just feel like everything little thing i get beat down for when no one else is. it bothers me because it goes on my record and i don't know how many but after a certain amount of write ups you get either suspended or fired and i don' want that. i'm just very frustrated and i know that tony and alicia are to but i feel like a scapegoat. tony even admitted that he knows that we cannot guarantee that every part has the right lid on it when we are running 200 parts and hour and the other machines aren't working right. and i'm just at a loss as to what to do, i won't do anything other than go in there tommorow and sign the paper and admit that i made a mistake. well that's enough for now. i spose. i need to go o bed, ciao!

DO NOT JUST GO IN THERE AND SIGN THE PAPER! You should have a place for comments and you need to add that Alicia is also responsible for checking the parts and it therefore it was her mistake as well.Also, you write down that the machine that checks does not work properly. That is not arguing back, that's standing up for yourself when it is not completely your fault! If it is a verbal warning, you shouldn't have to sign anything. You can stand up for yourself without being rude, yelling, and arguing back-but you do have to stand up for yourself! Write it all down and take it in with you before you meet with them, then you won't get flustered and forget.
I'm proud of you, I know you are a hard worker and do your best-you always have!!!!

Actually, DO NOT SIGN THE PAPER! If they know the machine is not working right, that is their fault and not yours! Why isn't Tony on maint. to get that machine working properly????
Mum
I completely agree with your mom....it is THEIR machine that is not working correctly? Why should you have to take the entire fall for it? You don't have to get rude and nasty.....but by signing that paper you say you agree it was all your fault...writing down all your thoughts before you get there is a good idea...that way you can organize your thoughts and be able to present them in a mannor that shows you have given thought to the situation. Let us know how it goes! Praying for you!!!
