I'm so frustrated
| Fri, 08-22-2003 - 5:23pm |
We work with different breeds in our company.Each breed has different temperature charts and light charts.Now one of the company guys has decided that growers no longer need to know which breed they have.They said we need to just watch the breeds and see how they respond to temps.This is the same guy who 5 yrs ago said growers didn't need to know about breeds because they would use it as an excuse.I just feel like the company people have no respect for the work we do or the investment we have in these chicken houses.Plus now the company has made some changes and the competition is getting tighter and tighter.There is no margin for error and truthfully I'm not sure I can handle this.I'm furstrated and scared and feeling very inadequate.

The "you don't need to know" syndrome seems to be running rampant through just about every occupation and type of company. Don't feel that you're inadequate because people don't want to give you information so that you can run your business the right way. See how much of the blame they want to take when they won't inform you and things go wrong. I can certainly see how frustrating this must be for you.

Do the breeds all look so closely alike that you wouldn't be able to tell? Can you get a chicken breed expert in to give you a head's up? How do they expect you to monitor the temperatures 24 hours a day?
Thinking about you. Wish I was there to beat up the company guy...I am getting pretty ripped you know!
Love ya.
Sassy.

I don't know what else to tell you other than to say keep doing what you're doing, listen for what you should be doing.
Love ya.

Meanwhile, this ranting and raving of mine won't help you, either. So Patty, I am sending you big hugs your way. And I'm thinking along the same lines that Sassy is. Maybe this is a sign that you should 'think' about what is happening. Maybe God is telling you to open your eyes and mind to something else. Maybe you are up to the challenge, though. Hmmm, ever think about that one?
Take care and good luck!!

I'd also do some research to see if there is a surefire way to identify the various breeds, so that if you MUST guess what kind of chickens you're raising, you really won't have to. Is there a web site on the Internet that would give that information or direct you to a book that does? I hate to see you be at the mercy of some jerk.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll figure out what's right for you to do and what you're comfortable with. Best of luck with it.
Hugs,
Rhonda
