Get rid of the favoritism and better wages.
ReplyDeleteFavoritism in the workplace can be one of the most demotivating things you might experience.
ReplyDeleteIn the workplace, you can see it happen when someone or a group of people appear to be treated better than others and not necessarily because of better performance on the job.
It might result in this person being promoted faster than others unfairly, being paid more to do the same job as others, being given more leeway to come and go during the day as they please, getting offered extra overtime hours, that sort of thing.
The end result is that they appear to be treated better than others and for no valid reason.
THIS IS NOT FAIR!

ReplyDeleteHuntington Ingalls Industries' Continental Maritime Division Awarded U.S. Navy Overhaul Contract
SAN DIEGO, Apr 18, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HII) announced today a U.S. Navy contract to its Continental Maritime (CMSD) division to provide pump and motor overhaul services aboard Navy ships within a 50-mile radius of San Diego. The firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, multiple-award contract, awarded with two other companies, has an estimated value of $120 million for all three prime contractors. The contract will have an ordering period of five years, and each order will be competed among the three awardees.
"It has been over 13 years since Continental Maritime was a prime contractor, and this award is important in that respect," said Dan Flood, vice president and general manager, CMSD. "This award provides us opportunities moving forward that we did not have in the past. Additionally, this contract gives CMSD the opportunity to showcase our superior mechanical and electrical repair capabilities."
Huntington Ingalls Industries, America's largest military shipbuilder, was previously a business sector of Northrop Grumman Corp. until effectively separating on March 31 in a spinoff of the company to shareholders.
Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) designs, builds and maintains nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and provides after-market services for military ships around the globe. For more than a century, HII has built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder. Employing nearly 38,000 in Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and California, its primary business divisions are Newport News Shipbuilding and Ingalls Shipbuilding.
