Motorola

Some talented professionals who are supportive team players and dedicated to the company's objectives, above their own ambitions, needs, and health. Stability for those who are content with banal work tasks that are well below their expertise and skills.

Out-of-touch middle management refuse to follow company-wide policies, standards, and industry best practices. They are more focused on protecting unqualified 'old furniture' than on progressing company values and growth. No regard is shown for staff welfare and wellbeing, and wages that are half the industry average have led to an exodus of key staff over the last 5 years.

Innovation is forbidden, as is access, time, and investment for meaningful training, continuous improvement, or career growth, with decades of dedication and exceeding performance KPIs being disregarded and unappreciated.

It is an ironic, dystopian working environment where doing the right thing is punished, while those who regularly do not have the company's best interests at heart are rewarded.

Practice what you preach.

Investors expect Motorola Solutions and its acquired divisions to comply with company policy, industry standards, and the corporate responsibility values in your annual reports, or else this house of cards is a fragile fraud. A hostile management responsible for a workplace full of disengaged, burnt-out staff doesn't foster innovation, best results, or growth.

Company culture cannot be acquired, and it has to be authentic, with honest people, for it to succeed. Integrity and trust are key, which is absent in Barrett and will continue to erode what is left for as long as management avoids taking on board professional advice and refuses to invest in the right professionals who, in turn, deliver upon that investment. Respect is a two-way street.
