Workplace idiots and my job

In my job,i make colored pellets for company's that use them in carpet fibers for color.I like my job,i really do.Sometimes i wonder if management even knows what they are doing.

This company i work for is pretty big.They have four plants in the states and three overseas,China being the most recent.( England and India the other two).The Concord (N.C.) plant for which i work at is right now the big moneymaker for the whole company.We consisantly make 4 million dollar months in productivity.Of course, the bigwigs are all happy."Keep up the good work ..etc,etc,etc...".But....there's always the but....they need to realize that the equipment we have to work with was outdated ten years ago.They are always breaking down,so we end up with down time.The bigwigs don't like that.Well if these assholes would get us better equipment to work with then we could get product out faster and sooner.To be the big moneymaker that we are,i don't see where all that money is going to.It sure as hell not coming to our plant.They need to put more money back into the plants in the states(and more in my wallet).

I work weekend nights which is Thurs., Fri., and Sat. nights  9pm to 9am.I love this shift because there's really no one here.Stress level is zero.Besides the team leader,there are only four of us.The  production  manager on day shift  is an total asshole.He's so bad that i've heard when he's not at  work ,he's always looking behind himself. I'm surprised nobody's  kicked his ass or killed him yet.

Then we have the few who have been with the company for twenty plus years, and they still don't know shit.The company would like  you to have a  college degree ,but from what i've seen it doesn't help to much.I didn't know you could give degrees to fools and dumbasses.

Now our plant manager,the only reason we got him is because the other plants didn't want him.Lucky us.He used to be a bad drunk (you could smell him before you seen him).He's changed alot but he can still smile to your face then stab you in the back.You know the saying about a leopards spots.

Besides all that i still like my job.

Thanks for reading. Peace out!
