My super was white, his boss Asian. That was the big rift. Most of the Caucasian management never understood the differences in how the Japanese managed and were afraid of them. I spent many hours talking with the Japanese managers and engineers and learned through that how they work. Actually even though it is very different, in many cases it was easier to deal with. That mfg plant was relocated in China. The company was Fujitsu. My super was white, his boss Asian. That was the big rift.

I'm curious, how's the organization functioning now? Did they have continual problems? It seems like keeping things under wraps and not admitting to errors would be counterproductive in the long run. Just wondering... Kris, integrity is a gift that is too precious to let go of so I’m glad that you owned up and stood up!

I’m curious, how’s the organization functioning now? Did they have continual problems? It seems like keeping things under wraps and not admitting to errors would be counterproductive in the long run.

Just wondering…

No joke, I could feel the tenseness of all the people at the morning meeting before I ever got there. The questions were asked and I took responsibility for the situation explaning the series of events and what was in process and how things stood at the time of the meeting for resolving the situation. The whole atmosphere changed, people relaxed and the meeting ended up going well. At least I thought so. After the meeting, my supervisor told me if I ever did anything like that again it would be the last time I would be doing it. I apologized but then stated that the was way I was brought up(at least to myself). I saw it as class warfare and I was the fall out. I still take the blame when I am the cause. You know I sleep pretty good at night. God Bless. PS I don't have that job anymore but it had nothing to do with my integrity. You know in my past, I almost lost my job because I was accountable!
