My comment is this: Corruption within a company comes from the “Top Down”. I have noticed within my own company that upper management is complacent in their position. We have a new overseer and he is inexperienced therefore causing him to seek refuge in surrounding managers. There’s no problem with this except he is unable to deal with poor managment becasue he feeds off them. So others have to suffer as a result of his incompetence and fear. They want ideas to make a better workforce, but don’t want to look at themselves as part of the problem. Any time you tell a group of your employees that “this is not a demoracy” , and you refuse to compensate them for taking over more responsibilty, you have just cause your company a reduction in productivity and may even lose some good employees. Everyone knows who the boss is, there is no need to throw the weight around. I am frustrated in my position and bored due to upper managements ego’s and lack of knowing or refusing to utilize me to my full potential.
