The upper management changes were so erratic and sketchy within this past year that many more were tiptoeing around, scared to mention anything to certain people, because the contractor vs. contractor competition for showing our “worthiness” was completely unnerving.
Within several years I answered to 6 different reports, and the support dwindled to near nonexistent. Eventually, due to the pressure of some private equity higher-up management decisions, a narcissistic foul and cold “hatchet-man” was reshuffled over us to eliminate many valued people, reduction in force, same-day separation with zero heads-up. There was no value to often cancelled one-on-one meetings, because none of the points led to differences, and the Manager monopolized the time with pointless anecdotes.
At no time in my career have I ever felt that a company segment changed moods and culture so quickly.
Please, if you value a good culture, of support and compassion for real-life events, remove Epicor off of your list.
