Company Surveys... and how to tell off upper management 101

[DjfunkmasterG]

Each year we take a survey called FOCUS which goes all the way to the top of the ladder... This year I decided to add something to the comment sectons: (Name and Company ID Info removed) - YES THIS WAS MY GO FUCK YOURSELF LETTER TO OUR CEO I have been a XXXXXX employee for over 5 years, and I have worked for the company nearly 6 years. In the last 2-3 Years, within my functional department, Manufacturing Sciences, I have watched time and time again safety and ethical conduct be allowed to slip to levels that are very concerning. Over two years ago the Senior director of both QA and MS completely covered up and hid the details of a deviation regardig falsification of Master Production Records relating to XXXXX, and to this day nothing has been done about it and it has been brought to the attention of both, HR, Our CEO, whom I emailed myself, as well as our legal group. Personnel responsible for the falsification were allowed to continue their employment because our senior director felt their expertise outweighed the fact they falsified a batch record. What was even more concerning and alarming is that the QA manager at the time and who participated in covering up what truly happened (see deviation XXXX) was recently given an award by XXXXXXXX (spring 2010) I have been told this situation would be taken care of time and time again, yet day to day I see the same errors and behavior taking place, and to be honest it makes me sick ot my stomach... this is not the company I agreed to work for 5 years ago, and I can honestly say I tell job seekers who ask me about XXXXXXX to look elsewhere unless you don't have a conscience and just want the money. Since there has been blatant attempt to cover up the situation and my emails and calls have fallen on deaf ears I submitted all data to the FDA who are infact investigating the situation. Again, it is sad to see this company operate like this and if the economy wasn't as poor as it is I would have been gone a long time ago. In regards to my functional goals and team. Nothing can get completely accomplished without issue because management above my personal manager cannot stick to a solid decision, nor can our QA group even follow through on anything relating to deviations, nonconformances, CAPA's etc. Repeated errors are made time and time again with no fallout from MS management or QA management. No one seems to take the functional of Quality Assurance seriously. It doesn't have to be a dictatorship but rules and guidelines must be enforced as documented by our policies that are in effect. From my point of view and what I have witnessed over the last 2 -3 years this is not the case at all. I honestly could go on and on within this comment section but I have realized just this second... what is the point. It has fallen on deaf ears for 2+ years and will probably continue to do so. if the 2009 survey was any indictaion of the issues currently ongoing in the MS group... why wasn't anything done aside from "forming" pointless committees that have acheieved absolutely nothing and again we allow personnel who not only falsified Master Production Records to still work here, but the management who covered it up even after proof was provided. And in regards to the comment about not identifying yourself... I don't mind. Gary Ugarek Mfg. Compliance Specialist II Cube: XXXX 301-XXX-XXX Thank you and have a nice day, and I do have some hope this information a nd these comments will cross someone's desk or email that actually cares on how this company functions. I used to be very proud to work for this company, not I dread coming in day after day.

Sad part is, they won't listen. Kudos for the letter/comments, but you know how these people work. If it doesn't directly benefit their wallet, they don't care.

This last Spring the GF had an anonymous survey at work and don't you know not only did her asshole superintendent come into her class to get on her ass about not completing it (even though she already had and even though it wasn't even due for completion yet--what a dumb fuck her superintendent is). Fucking 'anonymous' my ass!

You should go ahead start preparing your resume, gary. No need to worry about that BM - When I turned in the records to the FDA that gives me Federal Whistle Blower status... I am not about to let a clinical trial drug kill someone because operators are too fucking lazy to follow a batch record or take it into the facility with them then go back later and fill it out and get it wrong because the data didn't match our Back-Up PCS system. As long as when I make comments and point out what is being done wrong there is not a fucking thng they can do about it... and they know it.
