Been with Linde 5 years and it used to be fun. With the Prax merger deal, it's changed the attitude of how the business in operated. Linde has forced decades, possibly centuries, of tenured staff out the door. Bureaucratic management ideologies. Implements ridiculous requirements for how the location should run their operation with no understanding of the locations demands, 1 + 1 doesn't always equal 2. KPI’s change every month and usually get communicated months after the fiscal year started. We received our incentive goals around June last year, then was changed in September. There’s a bonus, but it seems the company finds a way to manipulate the requirements where most employees fail to earn their full amount. Willing to cut throats to save a nickel, while increasing the workload on all other staff members. Don’t expect a competitive increase when being promoted to a larger location. Can barely change a light bulb without it being an entire episode of work permits and control procedures. They force their vendors in to joining some scam compliance review company, which the vendors have to pay $500-1000/yearly. Expects the managers to jump in a moments notice, and usually ends up becoming a hurry up and wait moment. They preach safety (pro), but when it comes to the contract carriers it’s trying to find the one who can do it the cheapest, even if their safety record is crap.
