Manager: The extent to which this company lacks transparency is disturbing. Senior management determines our overarching strategy, and those at the lower levels execute itoften with little or no sense of the larger context. This practice, which purposely prevents certain employees from developing their own opinions about company strategy, severely limits our growth as a company.
The efforts of our middle management, on the other hand, are phenomenal. Their establishment of both a mentoring program and a two-month training program for new employees reflects a serious investment in human capital. The culture of our workplace is significantly improved by their vision.
