-Mandatory unpaid overtime, with the threat of being laid off if you don't do enough.
-The company Only hires new grads, while laying off older workers to limit pension and medical expenses. The brain drain is huge and the company is losing core competencies all the time in the name of saving money.
-Management retaliates for using sick time. You'll lose promotions over it. The result is that people are afraid to be out and come to work sick, infecting everyone else.
-The company regularly tows cars from the employee lot, then afterwards calls them to let them know. Why not call them in the first place so they could fix the problem BEFORE towing and costing them $250 to get their cars back?
-A small number of older workers who are coasting towards retirement are allowed to perform badly and stay. There's no accountability.
-Managers copy trendy Silicon Valley habits without understanding why they work elsewhere, and why they don't work at Bell.
-The company likes to talk about being "Employer of Choice" and a "Quality of Life Company" up until the financials start looking weak. Then, all that talk disappears until now we're being told to empty our own trashcans because the janitors have been cut back so much.
-The company pays lip service to innovation and collaboration, but doesn't trust its workforce enough to unleash them to do those things. Bell is far too risk averse.
-The whole performance review process is broken and incapable of identifying and rewarding your accomplishments. On top of that, management games it heavily to suppress raises. No matter how much you do, how much your direct managers praise you, you're still not getting better than 3% per year raises.
