Management/Useless Supervisors
NOW MY EXPERIENCE WORKING AT FLOWSERVE.
Good interview, I mensioned that I had previously worked within Oil & Gas as a (CAD) Designer, though not shown on my CV.
Just to mention, I've worked on some of the largest Oil & Gas projects in the world, for example, SHELL, BP, ESSO, PETROFAC, PETRONAS and others.
I was working alongside Process design engineers producing CAD DRAWINGS.
THE JOB:
Manager drummed up a plan to take me off assembly because they didn't want their clients seeing Black person working in the assembly area.
I was moved after just 10 days in assembly.
My work was fine and checked this with various employees and testers as I couldn't understand the sudden move. I even watched when some of my pumps were being tested and they were all signed off as a pass.
I ended up moving to the worst area of the company (BLAST) and having to work with a useless, desperate line manager who was just itching to practice his position on me. (It didn't work) and he was also rude but I remained calm.
The manager glorified this new role to me and made it look as though it was just a temporary move as I found out an employee had walked out just before I started. It wasn't a temporary move, it was a permanent move and he had a new temp taking my assembly role within days.
They should have employed someone to replace the employee that walked out in that section. I was employed as an Assembler.
90% of this rubbish new role was using masking tape.
I continued working there for a further 2 weeks or so but came to my senses and told myself, NO NO NO this company will no longer get my services and I left.
I really enjoyed the assembly side and to see someone come in and take my role, was disturbing. (I WAS THE ONLY BLACK PERSON THERE).
There were some nice employees who I worked alongside for that short stint in assembly.
I could go into a more detailed review but whats the point as I don't care about the company anymore.
Thank you
