As I finish out my last two days at KTP I want to post some thoughts on the Place.
1st KTP has been good to me almost three years in Paint. Can't complain there.
2nd Made more Money than the 15 Years I spent at LAP. And there was more to be had..
3rd What I see as the Problem with KTP.....It's the team concept thing...In Theory a team is to work together to produce a product and to Help each other in everyday operation....But from what I have seen it's all about ME what can I do to get my buddy in the job to allow my position to improve....this type of work environment just creates Drama. In the 3 years I've never worked on a team that had a team leader that people liked they always thought he or she could do more ex: 30 min Piss calls..It is always interesting that when you have the discussion about making the team leader a bid job they are always very against it "I don't want a Lazy 25 yr person in there" Which brings us to the Bid Job situation...Because there are few Bid Jobs People that get them stay for a long time so you have 15 yr people that are still on the same job they had when they hired in...Now this works two ways there are some that hired in on what could be the best Job/Team in the Plant and have never done anything else....Then there are the others who have worked like dogs since day one.
In the End I have no bad feelings about KTP and I'm not going to say "I"m Free" or anything like that I'm going back to LAP because that is home and I'm excited about these new products we are going to be building I am actually going to buy one of the products that we are going to build I have never done that.
So to my KTP brothers and sisters I bid you adieu and maybe we will talk at a Picnic or a retirement dinner someday..
