Awesome product. Good compensation. Amazing coworkers. Great name recognition. Incredible learning experience.
California runs the company and has no idea what goes on in the factory. RJ continues to make massive mistakes; he isn't focused enough on Normal IL. If Normal fails, the company fails. There's no work-life balance if you're at the factory. Cali coworkers hardly work.
Spend at least 20 hours a week on the floor. You need to see how poor the vehicle is for its price point and competition. I was working 60+ hours, so you should have no problem finding only 20 to be on the floor. Stop with the stupid mission stuff. You're not changing the world, you're not that innovative, you're not special. You're an automotive company that's electrified a drivetrain.
