Adecco Group

Placed in operator position at Edgewell (Schick) 01/13l20, and was immediately placed in a position that would cause me to fail, not successfully complete the tasks. I was in the molding department duties included, tending to at least 6 machines, making sure machines were running, loaded with containers for machines to put the product, removing the containers from the conveyor, placing/stacking containers on pallets, wrapping full pallets with product and using a tow motor to move product to designated location.in addition I was charged with the task of measuring certain pieces using calipers, comparators placed in jigs for the pieces. There could be as many as 40 separate pieces and as many 5 different measurements per piece. All these measurements must be documented with no mistakes or write overs or cross outs. I learned the duties and was able to perform all the measurements with no supervision. All the while there were blade covers to be collected and inspected from each machine as well.in excess of 30 or more pieces from as many as 5 machines with 6 inspections a night from each machine.

It was impossible for me to complete all the tasks in 24 hours no less 12 hours. The team leader was pretty inept at distributing the work of a 4 man crew evenly. The day I left the company was the night before the crew leader assigned a machine to one of the regular employees for the first half of the shift then gave me the machine around 1am. There had been many issues with this machine putting material that should have been discarded in with the good material. The next morning the crew leader singled me out by placing a complaint about the errors from the machine the previous night basically accusing me of not doing a good job. Not one time did he include the person that had the machine earlier, nor did he mention it to any of the other employees that was asked to take the containers off the line.

I couldn't take any more so I left the job 3 hours into the shift. I had mentioned the issues I was having to Adecco in Orange, CT. One night I mentioned completing a task alone and the next day was confronted by the team leader with material to measure that I had never seen or been trained on. Then later the leader said to me, "you said you don't need help? don't let the white man hear you say that! I've been trying to get extra help forever" This team leader is from India and I'm not sure where he was going with the "white man" statement.

Now Adecco isn't even returning my calls
