One of the manufacturing plants, being my area of knowledge, regularly dumps one fifth to one third of its production because the dough mix has been wrong resulting in underweight or badly cooked product. The man working on the baking line says he knows what is wrong. So does the junior dough mixer. They both say it is not their job to indicate the problems but to do as they are told. Both have tried to make suggestions in the past but been put in their place.
Supervisors regularly receive gifts of groceries from people they allocate to overtime.
This company has a large and professional human resources department who spend most of their time talking to and negotiating with the unions. No one talks about the endemic production problem. Under-performance is the unspoken company creed. The company obsession with the imposition of the collective will ensures that internal competition is not allowed to function. It is propped, supported and enhanced because of the requirement to focus on sanctioning by the IRC of collective enterprise master plans.
