I have worked at the battle creek…

I have worked at the battle creek michigan TA for 6 years started of as an outside porter and worked my way up to FMT facility maintenance tech, was im charge of the department but was never given the ability to do the job. I wasn't allowed to put in service requests I wasn't allowed to make any decisions. I was not given control of the maintenance budget or even told.what was available each month. Its become like game of thrones. Everyone wants total power and when a new site manager comes in (king or queen) guaranteed heads will roll no mater what or how good of an employee you are. Its all about who butt you kiss. Can't trust anyone your most trusted associate will put a.knife in your back. Your throat will be cut unexpectedly and for no good reason. Didn't have a problem for the first 4 years under one site manager and.store.mananger but they decided to bring in someone from another location restaurant to run the store and the restaurant manager was given the site manager position. These to allied themselves and systematically eliminated almost everyone from ,thier exact words "the old regime" I was told my job responsibilities were to change and the porters were to.do.most the work I had been doing. When I tried to tell them it's not likely to work they said they'd make it work. We'll they didn't they hired a.bunch of new people that wouldn't do any work and caused all kinds of problems. They focused on things that were unimportant and had nothing to do with improving service or raising sales. Fixing up areas of the building that were usless and unaccessible to customers. My job was eventually taken from me.and given to a person with zero qualifications after I had proven my worth and dealt with many of major problems working well beyond what was required of me. And they gave me.a new position doing all the jobs that they told me weren't my job anymore but failed to.follow through with making the other employees that they said would be required to do the work do it. They wouldn't allow me to train employees about using the equipment claiming I cost them to much money for Me.to waste my time.training people. So employees were trained by others with no experience and had multiple incidents happen due to that. I was targeted by management to be fired and written up over lies multiple times. They didn't Want.to fire.me.and.allow me to collect unemployment so they overburdened me with as much as possible trying to get me.to quit. The store manager they brought in couldnt handle the job and transfered to running the shop, another place they had no experience with. They wanted everyone to belive what they wanted was what corporate wanted, but some.of the things I knew well the people at corporate were smarter than what we were told like powerwashing in the winter. That would destroy equipment and cause lots of potential accidents. Let alone it's winter, water freezes. Just bad focus from the managers, more worried about thier absolute power than the good of the business or safety of anyone. Ive been pushed out and isolated from the other employees, everything I do to complete a job is met with new rules that change constantly. Im badicly not.allowed to use any equipment that I had been for years and barely even allowed to enter a building but in a time of crisis they come.to.me and want me.to.fix it because the person they gave my job to has no clue what to do. I educated myself on multiple different subjects for this job at my expense and on my time, I built equipment that we needed and didn't have so.i could get jobs done. And ive been treated like a dog and left outside with no interaction from all of the rest made to do all the dirty work.no one else wants to do. And they get off on trying to make me.feel like less of a person. You work hard you get demoted you do.as.little as.possible and.kiss the right butt telling om.everyone.for.doing the same.things you.do and you get promoted. Totaly am ass.backwards.place.
