RBC reviews

In my region (regions tend to be fiefdoms) , management believe in motivating with the stick not the carrot. Although I have never had my year end bonus taken away, its a constant threat for everyone, for even minor and insignificant parts of the job. As a group we are told if we dont like it find another job (is that a motivational speech?). Wages are paid according to no particular criteria.... I have seen less educated, less senior, and less successful people paid more than me, and I have also seen the opposite. Management doesnt like us talking salary amongst ourselves for this very reason.

The direction in which the company is heading is worrisome. It has forgotten the fact that the biggest asset in any company is it's employees. Lifers are not valued as the company offers higher salary for external hires. The management would make things extremely difficult if anyone were dealing with personal issues and needed some unpaid time off. The pressure to perform or outperform is enormous, thus creating disharmony between staff risen from "business grabbing".
