Try not to rant about work too much, but occasionally venting is good.
Okay. Work is slow. Dangerously so.
Their solution: Fire the higest paid person in the Art Dept. (which is often refered to as 'The Heart of the Operation, because we're the bottleneck. If it don't go thru us, it don't get done) who happened to be my Supervisor. Who has been there the longest, knows what's going on and actually does layouts.
Then Hire New Supervisor.
Who doesn't knowjack shyte Anything.
Then tell the remaining people to train the new person in how to do layouts, managing orders, etc etc. But treat him with the proper respect that is due a superior.
As well as continue the same rate of productivty, minus one person.
And this is Sound Business Sense.
On top of which, the central computer, which we're required to save our work on, went down for several hours today for transfering. Or at the very least were then told not to save on it, which pretty much kills our department.
New guy then gets mad at us when we pull out cards to kill some time until we can do orders again.
... the same new guy who has yet to do any orders of his own, because he's too busy chatting with other people and checking e-mail to figure out the programs. ¬_¬
And it's our fault for the factory being dead because the computers were down for half a day. Reguardless of the fact we figured out how to get around some of the problem TO do work, without our "Supervisor's" help.
Lovely.
At this point, don't even care if my next job isn't Graphics/CAD oriented. Just so long as it's something new.
