Work satisfaction on a downwards trajectory
Work satisfaction on a downwards trajectory
Commitment to ethics. Majority of people are great to work with. Benefits are decent.
Can be very political.
Dallas is the center of the universe.
A few appallingly bad middle-level managers poison the waters for others.
Increasing bureaucracy is affecting productivity and enjoyment of work.
Over time, policies tend to drift from one extreme to the other (for example, from too little structure and reporting some years ago to a stifling amount today, or from growth focus to margin focus), rarely stabilizing at a reasonable level.
Way too many "managers" who only manage without adding value.
Lots of lip-service to innovation, but little understanding of what actually promotes innovation.
Promotions into middle management must be controlled better. People with no people skills or extreme political types cause havoc. There is talk about avoiding silo mentality, but in reality, those that only focus on their own group at the expense of others are rewarded.
Middle- and upper management need to start listening more to people beneath; communication is currently very one-sided.
Don't be overly reliant on financial indicators; these are, by nature, lagging indicators.
Although the semiconductor industry is maturing, true innovation is still going to be needed. Don't overreact on R&D spend.
