Executives don't care at all

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the supervisors treat you well

Cons

Executives received a 17% approval rating on most recent survey and don't care at all about trying to improve that score. They treat employees like machines and make no attempt to improve employee satisfaction. Most of the corporate responses are clearly written by chat gpt and always essentially say “we don't care at all what you think"
