- They stopped promoting from within because they wanted "outside" talent, which makes it hard to be devoted to the company.
- They hired so many layers of management that they were completely out of touch with the customer.
- They stopped Michigan from being able to use their expertise (when MI's customer wanted the local touch), and wanted all work flow to go to Columbus.
- Sales goals were obscene, impossible to reach, and punishable.
- Sadly enough, management used terror to prevent people from voicing complaints, suggestions, or comments of any kind [at the beginning of meetings they started announcing "We will not be taking comments or questions!].
- There were so many layers of mgmt that they made it clear that if it you didn't fit it with their new rule you were easily replaceable.
- Only want "thinkers" and no "do-ers." We had an entire product relying on the work of 1 person, so we couldn't sell that product because that person didn't have time to implement it for everyone
- Our best talent was leaving in droves
