Hi, sorry ... MFG is what i thought was short hand for
ManuFacturinG
No, my salary has not gone up but my responsibilities and the
demands on my time have increased by 2.5 fold.
I have two employees that behave like toddlers ! Both want
everything now, need lots of attention and are experts at how i
should do my job (they would gladly take over given a chance) .
We do not produce much that can't be cleaned up with a roll of
paper towels but we do try.
When i buy raw materials for our enterprise (eg, peanutbutter,
bread, banas, paper, etc) i see first hand the bad/annoying
practices of the manufacturers.
bad ? because it is deceiving !
reduce the quantity of product, packaging the same, price the
same or higher.
with one product the only difference was the packaging was just a
wee bit smaller.
I could demand a higher salary , i doubt i would get fired :),
but it would likely be met with great resistance and/or the funds
would jus get shifted out of some other use.
