What don't you like about working at Duncan Aviation?
"Upper Management has no vision what-so-ever. They will tell you anything to try to keep you happy short term, and then when it comes time to make due on a promise, they pretend they have no idea whats going on. When layoff's came, the true colors of Duncan were shown. They axed guys who had great work ethic and loved the Company and their jobs, and held on to nitwits who couldn't fix a sandwich. I survived the layoffs, and everyone hoped that the paycuts would be temporary. Come to find out, RRT empoyees didn't even receive paycuts and didn't even know that they had occurred! The Duncan hierarchy of importance works like this- #1 - the CEO, Duncan, and upper management.#2 - Facilities. #3 - Customers.#4 - Employees."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"You have no Talent left in this company because of poor decisions. The lack of quality employees will effect quality of work, and you will only anger more and more customers over the next coming years"
