[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there is no room for promotion as it is hard to break the “on the clock” mentality.

For instance we have a few corporate events on the weekend or after work each year.

I noticed the on the clock people don’t go. But it is only chance to interact with sr. Mgt. which would help their case for a promotion.

I have no clue how to make it a nicer place. They have tasks to do and a set time to do it. To be honest I would tell them to quit if I was giving career advice.

I have been working for long enough to understand the rules for promotion, going above and beyond is the bare minimal, there are other rules such as “cultural fit with upper management” that some of us just know we will never get there. So why bother to do that to get disappointed? At least using that time to do personal hobbies is good for my mental health.[/quote]

Seriously, no sr mgr is going to bad for a  random hourly employee they met once for a drink. They know the score, OP, that you just want free work from them. [/quote]

+1 I've managed employees with no promotion path. If you want to motivate them, it's over time (as in time and a half real overtime) opportunities or production bonuses paid regularly enough that they don't view them as a pipe dream. [/quote]
