Staid, antediluvian workplace with union drones - Business Unit Manager Pratt & Whitney Employee Review

Pros

Uhhh....you could probably switch to a role at Otis Elevators? The benefits were nice.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent. The firm is outsourcing all manufacturing. The union drones are allergic to change. There's senior management lip service to process improvement, so long as that means pretty signs and coats of paint on the 50 year old equipment. Management metrics aren't tied to profitability, but rather to some corrupted version of earned value/delivered hours.

Pros

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

Personnel reporting to me had apparently looked up my political affiliation (which I had never mentioned) and took exception to it by sabotaging work that I had supervised. This was well before 2022 - actually 2015-2016 (2022 is earliest review date I could select). I was just now remembering it. This polarized political posture was a function of the plant being near Harrisburg, PA which, at least then, was a somewhat "redneckish" area. I have never discussed my politics at work, so it seemed absurd of them to look up my party affiliation and take issue with it.
