How work silences you...
Get this: Tubas just got terminated from his job for speaking up against the system. He wrote in the company suggestion box the following:
Improving shop efficiency chi-town style.
After reasonably milking their shop staff, I am proud to say that Chicago management has formulated an even more effective way to wring out work from their shop staff. Shop managers take note, this is the perfect way to get your shop to work against you.
1. Keep mechanics from leaving their 30' X 15' bays
2. Absolutely no talking amongst mechanics (includes cell phones)
3. Keep your mechanics staff from writing
4. No radio playing
5. Time your staff trips to the restroom (you might be losing a few work minutes)
6. Remove their labor book-- if the pre-inspector missed it and mechanics can't claim it they'll have to work harder to meet their required efficiency)
7. Overwork your salary people (they are salary which means you can work them as hard as you want
8. Cut your office staff and force the extra work on your salary people (if they refuse remind them what is stated at the end of each job description "your job is to do whatever management says")
9. Change shop manager consistently (this will cause chaos, save your shop manager pay until you find a replacement, and keep employees from asking for their do reviews)
10. If you absolutely must review with a raise, do it late. You won't have to review them again until that same date the following year.
11. Eliminate any program that will heighten shop morale, i.e. monthly barbecues, etc.
12. Fire those who speak up--this will frighten the staff and keep them from complaining.
And what were the grounds for firing him? Insubordination. What is this, the military? Incredible how the workplace inhibits any human being from being human. Talk about censorship. I think they were so mad to hear a worker speak up that they couldn't do anything but react by firing him. Ironically, they've reacted just how Tubas claimed they would.

the only way to grow....fix problems....is to speak up.
what if it was something concerning sexual harassment...or corruption.....people are still suppose to keep silent?
This is some outrageous b.s.! Can he submit a complaint to the IL Dept. of Labor? Their offices our in the James Thompson Center 16th floor. Something needs to be done about this nonsense!
