[QUOTE="cowscomehome, post: 105133"] I like the fact that you still believe in something -- like the value of ERI. I took the damn thing for over a decade. I remember when it was done on a diskette. Not one year did we ever lose a bad supervisor, manager, etc. over complaints in the ERI. Not once did they ever offer more training or more money. Not one damn thing we ever wrote-in was ever addressed. The only thing that ever happened as a result of the ERI is that it became an element on our evaluation -- YEAH, YOU READ IT RIGHT!!! OUR FREAKING MANAGEMENT TEAM GOT UPSET AT OUR ERI SCORE AND PUT THE ERI AS AN ELEMENT ON OUR EVALUATION. In effect, if we gave a good score, we got a good eval -- if not, then not. One of the techs had to call the 1-800 HR integrity hotline to have this investigated and ultimately removed from our evals. Stop thinking ERI means anything. ERI to a management person is like SLA to us. It bothers us to miss the mark, but ultimately, our raise will be the same for doing little as it is for the tech who does it all -- about 3.5% -- that's it. Ok, maybe the best tech gets 3.75 and the worst gets 3.25%. For management, it is the same, they get crappy raises, too -- regardless of how poorly or how well they do. After the first couple of years, management became desensitized to our beating them up. Lucky thing for us all, TSG does get better with age -- right? I mean, I've given up on my life already, I'm just waiting on retirement day. I'll gripe for the next two decades, but I'll never try to better myself and get a job that I can truly be happy doing, or be excited about. [/QUOTE]
