This is the 2nd time in the last couple week that our HR director went into my bosses office to ask him a question about something that I do. My boss trusts me to do my job, so he preety much stays out of this stuff, but apparently the HR director doesn't feel I have a clue, or isn't comfortable talking to me. Basicly I set piece work rates, and one department is complaining. Which is not supprising because we just cut one rate big time last week. They were getting way over paid, but of coarse no one wants to see their pay change. The department manager & the factory manager were both aware of the change and approved. It's just so frustrating that I'm the person doing the work, but when there is a problem I'm not involved in the solution. I guess COMMUNICATION, was never their strong suit. Sometimes I feel like it is because I'm a woman. These are the days that make me even more positive of my decision to finish my masters in Counseling. OK, just had to vent about that, thanks for listening.
