I suppose I feel the need to post this to get it off my chest and so that I can get an understanding from others what they would do or say. My GM the owner of the company can be very harsh. He wants things done a certain way,….his way. He wants us...

No... I really do not believe that title, but unfortunately, it is the feeling I get from my boss...

I started in Production here almost years ago... Worked my way up to the lab, and eventually became the Quality Control Manager.

It truely annoys the heck out of me when I am excluded from issues / changes that directly affect my job.

Maybe it is because we are a small company ~40 employees. Maybe it is because our General Manager is gone...
