    Don't be afraid of process/design changes. Help the process owners make our product better. If you put your name on something and it fails in the field, and you get fired for it, it's a blessing in disguise. You will make much more money somewhere else. Every engineer that has EVER quit/fired/let go is now making much more at their new job. There's so many flaws to our product design, and paper work shouldn't be "too expensive" (to add some lines or retract an old process that isn't used anymore). You are begging for an external audit to catch it and fail us. And you're laziness results in poor quality product.

    This post has a few topics. I agree, everybody that I know of including myself have landed in much better positions on their own or at other companies. I didn't stick around to be let go. Was told when CH and the team of 8 VPs came on board, I was overpaid. Compared to what was my thought. Yes Florida may have lower pay scale compared to the rest of the country, but not at Arthrex! Recruiter called re position in Naples 180k plus. PC and JL would hire 3 junior marketing kids with that money and wonder why R&D dances to the beat of their own drummer. Can't really blame them.

    Is it just me or is there a staff reduction quietly going on? Did some people just get moved around?

    I've been waiting (in production) for over 8 years for simple process changes to take effect. Without giving away too much info, I have to do more (unnecessary) work to finish a particular job. If R&D were to make a simple change, I wouldn't have to do more, I could do less, thus, making the process much faster. The precious run rates will be met.

    No process owner I EVER spoke to likes R&D's work ethic.

    They are there to earn money, not earn respect. They won't make anything better. They avoid changes to save money. The big wigs like that. They get bonus checks, R&D gets to keep their job. Production has to keep reporting outdated processes and mistakes and flaws (etc. etc) to show upper management they care. It's all a game to profit the ones who can actually change everything if they'd just spend the money. Stop caring. Just work. Keep the flow moving, and you will keep YOUR job.

    I want that job. They are not even there right now. They probably don't even have to come back in. We are still running the show without them. :eek: We need process owners and engineers that TRY to solve problems.

    Rumors of a few being let go. No confirmation yet. All of them are still at home. Waiting.
