1. What is your full job description? I dont really have one. As I said before, I work at a company that makes a repairs Commercial Waffle Irons. Im currently in the "Department" that makes the brand new ones, so I guess if I had to have a title it would be something like "Waffle Iron Assembler"
2. What are your responsibilities at your job? Normally I get a bunch of different parts assembled, put them all into buckets, and take them out to the technicians who assemble them the rest of the way.
3. How do you communicate with other people on the job?
I just talk to them...if I have a question I find either my manager or my boss and straight up ask him.
4. With customers/management/subordinates, would you say your communication is more direction-receiving, feedback, or equal and why? Id say about equal. I still do get a lot of direction from people, but ive been working there long enough to the point where I know how to do just about everything, so if someone is having a problem with someone im often the first one asked about it. Also, I know more about what I do than my bosses do, so a lot of times they're asking me questions on how to improve this or that, and what would make things better.
5. What motivates you to work? Not a whole lot anymore to be honest...especially since my old supervisior retired, that guy was awsome, he would buy the whole high school/college aged kids pizza what seemed like almost once a month. That and he was just an awsome guy to work for. But now that he's retired our new Supervisior isnt nearly as cool, so thats not a motivational factor anymore. Ive allready been employee of the month, not that I really gave a **** about that anyways. So for right now, the only thing that REALLY motivates me is the money. And it isnt very good money so I wouldnt even call that a real motivator.
6. Do you feel communication is significant at your workplace? Why/Why not? Yes, definatley. Little problems are always coming up that we must get sorted out. Such things as "The battery on this drill is dead", "We ran out of this screw", "This peice all of a sudden isnt fitting right", "Sorry Boss, I dont have time to get 16 buckets out in one day."

Stuff like that.

7. What is something you would change about the way you could communicate with others at your job? I would change the fact that a lot of the time I'll have a problem that nobody else will really know much about, because im the only one that does spicifically what I do there. So I'll be wondering, "Is this the way im suppoused to do this?", but there's really nobody there to ask during the after school hours I work, so I just have to usually do it however I think is right, and sometimes the next day I find that I did something wrong...
8. Do you feel you are an effective communicator? Why/why not?
Yes, absolutley. If see something that I think could be improved, or a new tool that might help me with this or that, I tell someone about it. And I always try to help the people who are lower than I am in "Rank", because I know what its like.
