- Upper management seems to be encouraged to separate themselves from line level workers.
- Incentives for upper level management are often counter to stated company goals.
- Good managers are put into a difficult position of towing the misdirected company line while still trying to motivate employees.
- The latest management tool (e.g. EVMS, SAFe/AGILE) will be forced on all workers regardless of any possible benefit beyond a specific area.
- Performance appraisals will mostly focus on justifications (read that as excuses) for a minimal compensation. These justifications will often directly contradict quarterly performance reports.
- Trying very hard to form an inverted pyramid business structure.
