Favoritsim and bad management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I didn't have to work hardly any OT

Cons

Very bad management. Management by fear. Europeans come over and their wives all get jobs, whether qualified or not. They think nothing of it. Toxic atmosphere. Good people get fired for not being political enough. Never sure what the goal is, where the division or company is going. Good people but not in management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Extraordinarily successful company. Investors can be sure they will meet financial targets year after year.

Cons

Loyalty to employees only goes as far as the quarterly report metrics. 90 days after our acquisition, when the message was "We need all of you!", 40 of us were summarily dismissed. My severance was fair, but it still stung, coming 3 weeks from my 25th anniversary.
