E-mail, LM -- One of the engineering managers
is not comfortable signing the consent form until Xrite attorneys
approve the form; one of the other engieering managers is comfortable
signing and already completed the demo. survey, but will he proposed
doing the interview with him via phone rather than in-person, he is
double checking company policy though before we proceed - tentatively
have a call scheduled for Monday, 10/13. Waiting for confirmation about
Lawyer approving consent to pick an alternate date |
Yes |
10/13 ? |
No - not participating in employee survey dur to challenges with participation in employer interview process |
Due to discomfort with completing the consent
form to participate in in-person interview - John Calow Mechanical
Optical Engineer Manager sent typed responses to the interview
questions; his colleague Mark Cargill, Firmware-electronics Engineer
Manager, completed the demographic survey. I have followed up to see if
we would be able to get an in-person interview scheduled, but have not
gotten a response, which may be the response. Recommend we move on and
use the information provided in written form. |

Taryn,
I am sorry, we have decided not to send the surveys out at this time.
There are a lot of mixed emotions at the plant right now due to the
automotive news and current layoffs. We feel that these emotions may
get projected in the surveys and have misleading results.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
