I work for a large Heating as well as Air Conditioning parts distributor.
I am in charge of the hour shift crew.
I have 125 employees on the hour shift as well as the third shift has the same amount. First shift has 300 employees. The people I was with and I package Heating as well as Air Conditioning parts as well as accessories as well as ship them to various local as well as national companies. The people I was with and I used to be the number a single provider of Heating as well as Air Conditioning parts until 2 years ago. Things have been slow since then as well as all of us haven’t been able to build business. Things got a lot worse after there was a Covid19 outcut in the plant. The people I was with and I had to stop all packaging as well as shipping services at the Heating as well as Air Conditioning plant when 17 employees on 2 weird shifts inspected positive for the virus. The branch president had to hire a cleaning maintenance to sanitize all of the surfaces in the building as well as all of us had to close for three days. A lot of employees were distraught to come back from work after the outbreak. I cannot blame anyone for feeling that fear. The people I was with and I failed to keep the employees safe as well as now all of us are paying the price. The people I was with and I were doing our part, however it doesn’t change the fact that 17 people got sick on our watch, however next week, the supplier is going to lay off 1000 employees. I’m particular that most of those employees will be from our branch. The people I was with and I only have half the familiar crew as well as it entirely costs more to run the factory than all of us are making. The output is too low to sustain the corporation right now. Things won’t get better until all of us have a person with a plan.
