Too much middle management, too rigid telecommuting policy, slow to react, blinders.

Advice to Management

There is a bad funk permeating the culture. Innovation is not cultivated or appreciated at too many levels.

Too many short-sighted middle managers are driving creativity and the next "new thing" right out of the employee/company. For all the talk of being exciting, vibrant, and cutting-edge, that may have been the case over a decade ago, but the atmosphere is anything but that today.

While we are now comfortably in the lead in technology, most of the people that sacrificed to make that happen have already been shown the door by now.

Stop cutting your lifeblood. Stop cow-towing to Wall Street. Take care of your employees and treat them appropriately.

They achieve every wild prediction that a new CEO spouts, yet when it is time for salary bumps, you hide behind statistics and hyperbole. You want above and beyond? Be that.
