Felt trapped - Senior Facilities Technician Samsung Electronics Employee Review

Management changed frequently. Priorities constantly changing. Working in facilities, emphasis on cleaning the plant was often put ahead of operating the plant. Promotions were difficult, often non-existent. Self evaluations are a joke. Each department was required to give a percentage of poor reviews, no matter what. Rating on reviews ranged from 1-exceptional, to 5-instant termination. Most employees received a 3-average worker, but someone was required to get a 4-below average. To go from senior tech to master tech was nearly impossible. After submitting an application for master tech, your manager would give you a rating, then the application went to a board of managers and senior managers. They would decide if you were worthy of an interview, although no one on the board may be from your area, and may not even understand your job. Often times people would quit, then come back a year or so later, in a better position, a position that they should have been given while still employed there. Common phrase used in Samsung was, we make logic, we do not use logic.
