I feel like a fool

Pros

Worked with leaders to achieve high rate of success in our field. I feel that I brought experience, ambition, a lot of Heart, and an innate ambition to learn and grow our field.... I thought my department was doing well and my work was highly appreciated.

Cons

My position was terminated early 2020 due to COVID and no one from my entire team has contacted me. I even reached out to my leader and he ignored me altogether. I feel like a fool for believing in this team, and working so incredibly hard, without a word of notice that I had failed in my goals. It is one thing to be eliminated of the position - it is clearly another to be ignored altogether as if you did not bring success to the company!

Poor management

Pros

Livable wage and somewhat decent benefits.

Cons

Good ol boy system. If you dont have a degree you know nothing. The amount of management and salarie employees. Highest turnover of employees I've seen. Lack of respect for their hourly employees. Everyone is expendable.

Mill Shutdown - Not Awesome

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Top Salary Scale, Good safety record, Sure painted the mill to LOOK pretty, awakened new sense of pride in ownership in employees.

Cons

VERY top heavy in Management, most positions micro-managed horribly, purchased a poorly running saw mill and thought that painting would help (??), employees/existing management publicly scrutinized as opposed to behind closed door mentoring or counseling. Former employees both operational and leadership felt 'duped' when Interfor chose to close the mill, displacing over 100 employees and their families in the local Tacoma area.
