UK Executives - Disconnected OR "Running a Game"?

Pros

Friendships developed among co-workers is invaluable.

Cons

Reading UK Executives' dedication to Ethics Principles versus witnessing/living them in Central NY are opposite ends of the spectrum. It reminds me of a Tom Clancy (Submarine Tactics) book; that of an allied Submarine being tracked by/receiving Orders from a Surface Ship (there one minute; gone the next)... the Submarine diving below the Thermal Layer; the Surface Ship has absolutely no idea where the Sub is going but Trusts it to follow "Orders". As for Exec's "Running a Game" (saying one thing and allowing something else to be done)... I don't think so because what they affirm in the UK is extremely clear (No Interpretation Is Needed) and has not the slightest resemblance to what is happening in CNY... there's no chance to skate responsibility by invoking deniability.. So the UK Exec's Must Be in the dark

Unfair practices and favortism

Pros

The pay is complimentary for the stress and garbage you to have to put up with.

Cons

Too much favortism. Work is not acknowledged based on performance but on friendship status.

Impersonal place to work.

Pros

Good benefits and fair pay. You learn to be on your own which is good and bad.

Cons

No direction or what is expected of you. Management is clueless as to what you do and they are the ones administering performance review. Management says they are approachable but it goes against you if you ask questions.
