The office is half empty. It seems that every other week someone, or a whole group, is terminated. Staffs are cut, budgets are slashed yet near impossible production expectations are maintained. It's clear that the parent company cares little about the company or the employees.
VP management and above strut around the office like peacocks and enjoy celebrity like perks. However they provide little to no direction, and often front line employees are blamed for the failures when they follow said direction. The company lurches from one directive to the next as the VPs come up with the next great idea.
Middle management has devolved from working together to sniping each other and not cooperating to further the standing of their VP. Operationally the company is in shambles.
Many employees need to work huge amounts of overtime weekly with little or no appreciation shown. It's not uncommon to see workers putting in twelve hour days and working weekends until they are literally making themselves sick.
Add to that a low salary level that is supposed to be made up with a bonus structure. In my time I've seen two bonuses paid, one six months late. The bonus structure is not open, and has not been paid in almost a year. The general consensus is that it doesn't actually exist anymore.
