Dräger Schweiz AG

Dräger has very good quality products. It would actually be a good employer if there was good management. The salary is normal for the industry and the bonus is OK. However, the bonus should not go to the team, but to individual performance / dispatch. Then it would be fair and work would be more efficient.

Training courses in Lübeck are offered very late, and then more training is given at sales level than technical. Online training must be provided, although this does not affect certain departments. The workplace is very well and modernly equipped with ESD, but hardly anyone is interested in this. The ESD mat is replaced once a year. Examinations are ignored. Older employees are favored with favors or trainer training shortly before retirement, instead of middle-aged employees who would like to. As soon as the training is finished, it is reduced to 80%. A young father who wants to have a daddy's day and ride 80% is rejected. Allegedly not tolerated from above... If you address mistakes directly, the supervisor reduces it. Not so bad. Suggestions for improvement are ignored. If you are too honest, you are bullied out. Young team leader who has yet to earn his spurs and is too shy to take a stand. The next instance doesn't even take a pad and pen to the meeting. This shows me the indifference. It's a great pity that this climate is maintained. When the relatively young boss is gone (which happened a lot with his further training and special external assignments), the older employees do what they want and how they want. In other words, the older ones set the tone, and the STV boss follows suit and makes fun of others himself... Smoking breaks for several hours a day, handing over the work to new employees and complaining about their incompetence. The good work is done by long-serving employees themselves. Other department heads drive through the corridors with a pallet truck and laugh... Safety leaves a lot to be desired. I hope that the company has the right people reading this and thinking about whether Dräger deserves to treat people and work like this.

There is a great deal of leeway in day-to-day business until superiors interfere, who then want to cover up their incompetence with unnecessary warnings to employees

At management level, especially in the IP department. There is an unnecessary dependency on the parent company in Lübeck, Germany. Due to a lack of management competence and the fact that certain department heads are barely present, decisions in day-to-day business have to be made on a personal level. If targets are not met or the responsible department head feels cheated, this very quickly leads to written warnings.
