No one thinks they are overpaid. my company also has a banking unit and i was in a local branch getting a cashiers check. The manager knowing I worked for "corporate" asked what i thought about the recent layoffs and the teller there says "well they would never fire the tellers we are the most important people at the bank." I didn't have the heart to point out to her that that branch is always empty and 99% of all transactions can either be done online or at the ATM these days.

Dude. I knew I did not like unions before I worked at that place, but working there really opened my eyes. I'd say 75% of the workers there think the company is there to give them a job and really have no interest in how well the company does financially. In fact, many would feel the need to "slow it down" if they felt the company was getting too much out of them that day. They really did not understand the concept that if the company excelled, it would benefit them.

I can promise you there are at least a dozen or so GM employees ON THE CLOCK playing 18 holes at King's Creek golf club down the street from GM's spring Hill plant as I type. They clock in, head out and come back to work in time to clock back out for the day so they can watch the news and bitch about how the retiree next door is losing his healthcare.

You live in Spring Hill. You don't, by chance, work for Saturn, do you?

No, but I know many people that do. I will admit that I own an Aura though.:)
By the way the Spring Hill plant builds the Chevy Traverse. They stopped building Saturns there some time ago.

LOL. I know what you are saying. Of all the places I have worked, there is no comparison to the lack of productivity in a union environment. It is not a stereotype, it is real. There were some good and damn productive employees, will not bad mouth all of them. But the problem is, you can't fire anyone. For every good employee you have there is another one or 2 of them that are lazy as crap and drag down the productivity immensely. The ONLY good thing about a union place is I never had to worry about training anyone, there is no turnover and thus everyone knows the jobs.

I can assure you these issues are not limited to one plant. Most of the employees in Spring Hill learned the bad habits at other plants before this one was open. I almost don't blame GM for building cars in Mexico and Belgium instead of the U.S.

Another issue is the fact that many of the hard working, honest employees are actually harassed by peers because they are "making them look bad".

Spot on. Being too productive is like someone from an impoverished background going to college, people feel they are getting too uppity.
