Pros

Good company with a good work atmosphere. Most of the supervisors and great!

Cons

The corporate office has forced "wokeness" on the plant. Women are complaining about sharing a bathroom and shower with a transgender male. I don't blame them. One women told me she "would never use the restroom in the plant again! ABB has told us to not "turn the other way" when there is a problem. This is a problem. It seems that DEI doesn't include the natural modesty/dignity of women. Or their chastity and virtue. Exposing themselves to a transgender male is offensive to most women. I really like this company, it has been a blessing to me and my family for many years. Unfornately due to the transgender issue, (I have cross dressing friends whom I love) I would not recommend someone working here. I don't see any hatred in anyone but just a desire for privacy. One lady told me that management said "if she has a problem with sharing a bathroom with a transgender male that they would provide a special bathroom for her". She said, I don't want a "special bathroom, I just want to be able to use the female bathrooms!" It isn't fair to the women in our plant. Most people understand that. Thanks.
