The CEO's words are shareholder value and change energizes us. How about employee values, quality of life, and job security?

Pros

Pay is comparable, with decent health benefits.

Cons

Constant layoffs, no clear direction, and no job security leave employees in a state of anxiety.

Employee morale goes lower year after year in a very deleterious environment.

Customer service jobs are outsourced to foreign countries to save money, despite the fact that 90% of customers are not happy.

Trainings are rarely relevant and are only to show employees have completed training hours.

Executives and upper management have unlimited budgets for meaningless travel and meetings, while normal employees are scrutinized for critical travel.

If an item requires a director or higher approval, then you can forget about it because no manager wants to make waves.

Advice to Management

How do you expect the employees to perform and give the company their 110% when they are always in a state of limbo with constant negative announcements, month after month?
