Advice to Management

Management at this company has significant issues. While not all managers are problematic, a large number of them, especially those with a specific leadership style, often create a toxic environment. Many employees face challenges such as abuse, denial of vacation or FMLA requests, and a strong focus on LEC. Additionally, there have been instances where managers have been dishonest or inconsistent with their statements, further eroding trust within the team.

Many of the managers lack strong technical expertise and tend to rely solely on theoretical knowledge rather than understanding the real challenges employees face. They often treat employees unfairly, creating a hostile work environment. There have even been disturbing incidents where managers have taken employees to parking lots and issued threats, further contributing to a toxic atmosphere.
