Not sure where to start! There is so much wrong with PLI now! It has become systemic throughout the company. Yet, leadership either does not care or is oblivious to how dangerous the current state of moral is. Maybe if I spell it out in detail, they will get the picture.
1. CEO is dishonest, arrogant and only focused on how to get his next photo op. Integrity is at the top of our list of values, but he has none.
2. Executive management is not allowed to lead. Their decisions are dictated by what the CEO wants and thinks, no matter how out of touch with reality he may be.
3. The majority of managers and supervisors are seriously lacking in professionalism, experience and without any independent thought process. They are just puppets that only does what the puppet master tells them to do.
4.There are only two of three managers who I can truly say are real leaders that inspire and motivate their employees. The rest are childish, manipulative and spiteful. They will throw their employees under the bus to save their own butt.
5.A large amount of money was spent on re-writing the employee handbook a year or so ago, but the policies are not enforced or only for some. There are two sets of standards, those for the chosen ones who are friends with leadership and another set for the rest of the employees. If you are part of the "in crowd" you can get away with murder. You think employees don't notice the favoritism?
6. The ESOP program is a scam. We have yet to get a real statement from the group that manages the program. No one in the company can even explain how it works. The last statement which was a few words on a sheet of PLI letterhead had a lot of discrepancies between the dollars allotted and the current stock value.
7. Leadership touted the raise of the minimum wage to $13.00 an hour, but this only impacted a handful of employees. Mostly new hires. It did little or nothing to reward long term employees. We now have in-experienced employees earning the same or just a few cents below our long term experienced employees. It done more to harm moral than help employees.
8. Teamwork is non-existent. Departments are pitted against each other. This culture is a result of current leadership.
