Maybe rightfully so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This nomination is not about one of those folks. Today we bring the guy who wouldn\u2019t ask for a pat on the back or any kind of special recognition for doing what he does, without a complaint, and getting it done with no frills and exceeding the standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s to OneMonroe Ira\u2019s Nominee for Employee of the Month, Mike Kizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little over two years ago Mike came to us off a second shift job, one of the biggest draws for coming to OneMonroe Ira was that we didn\u2019t have a second shift\u2026.<br>But there was a job that had to be done and we were going to have to open up a second shift so we could meet our delivery date to the customer.<br>Without hesitating when asked, Mike said he\u2019d do it. 2400 machined, assembled, and painted hinges later, we got back to our regularly scheduled programming and Mike\u2019s still one of the best team players here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in assembly and being the go-to man for trucking here isn\u2019t easy; what do those crazy folks in operations have going, if the assembly team needs some widgets, did the machinists finish that detail in time? You could be in the middle of putting the 99th Helicoil out of 300 in a detail but Paul\u2019s already on the road or tackling the latest hot issue and Sam has to really get that quote finished or is trapped in a meeting. Mike doesn\u2019t complain, doesn\u2019t try to beg off, he gets it done. There are a lot of strong personalities out here and certainly strong opinions, Mike on the other hand gets it done with no fuss and usually before it needs to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That rush to get something back from hard coat anodize in Jackson, MI? Don\u2019t worry about it, Mike\u2019s already on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as he gets back, there\u2019s that load of details heading for Ann Arbor or Fenton, get Mike the paperwork. He\u2019s on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time to punch out for the day, there\u2019s Mike making sure that the job he was working on before he left is in a good place to pick up tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is our guy who busts his knuckles and rear putting those assemblies together and makes sure we have what we need to get it out the door sometimes despite the changes, and vagaries of the customers, vendors, and coworkers, and does it all without drawing attention to himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s probably going to wonder what all the fuss is about when he gets this nomination, but Mike\u2019s earned it and keeps doing what he does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~ Terry Tomayko and Sam Sattler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Mike Kizer for December 2023!!!
