Plant management is highly dysfunctional and significantly affects operations and employee morale.The good things• Competitive compensation and benefits for certain positions.
• Some teams are collaborative and genuinely want to improve operations.
The challengesHigh turnover across departments leaves newly hired employees inheriting unresolved issues, with little to no proper turnover or structured training. Decision-making is often impulsive and bypasses established processes, causing confusion and repeated rework. At the Iligan plant, critical systems continue to be operated manually despite long-standing upgrade proposals, resulting in unsafe conditions and an unreliable facility. Leadership is biased and inconsistent, with accountability applied selectively, leading to low morale and a lack of trust. Overall, management prioritizes self-preservation over fairness, process, employee well-being, and operational reliability.
