1. Ownership does not allow for the people they pay to make informed decisions to make those decisions. Instead hubris and ego drive reactionary, snap decision-making.
2. Snap decision-making relating to overall direction of the company cause it to flounder in place. This apparent stagnation upsets ownership (the ones who's decision making have caused it), so they blame the staff for not working hard/fast/smart enough, causing both frustration and rifts in trust between ownership and staff.
3. Ownership's ego is once again apparent in the way they treat employees as if they can be replaced at any given moment. One would think that after all the negative reviews on this and other employment sites had slowed interest in posted jobs to a mere trickle, that this attitude would perhaps change, but it didn't. Employees were still 'motivated' with threats of their jobs regularly.
4. It seemed a regular occurrence (every 3 months or so) that you would come into work to find a co-worker or manager had been told they no longer had a job. This appeared to correlate greatly to when someone had been overly verbose about disagreeing with a direction or decisions made by ownership. It almost felt like a demonstration for those who might actually be getting comfortable in their jobs.
