Canton operations are silo’ed from the rest of them organization. There is no sense of pride working at this site. Management is quick to layoff to make end of year sales numbers, and then rehire the same employees back at the beginning of the year (Nov 2019). The thought of running a successful business by other means, such as contracts with clients, raising costs of services, etc, takes second seat to treating employees like they are disposable (layoffs and un-approving already approved vacation time to forcing employees to work around the clock -Dec 2019).
UL has treated their employees terribly during the COVID-19 crisis. Originally they were given additional sick time to cover if we needed self-quarantine, after a few weeks UL took the sick time back. Employees are being forced to use vacation time to prevent layoffs, though another round of layoffs is inevitable. Employees are being threatened to with large pay cuts and layoffs if sales numbers aren’t achieved, yet being told to come to work and social distance. Leaderships does not exist at this site, they have all worked from home, leaving the lab personnel to run the site., with the exception of the site operations leader who has isolated himself in the back part of the building with “do not enter” signs to keep everyone away.
