Pros
Provides a paycheck, albeit declining in purchase power.
Cons
Restructuring at whim of consultants and small “in” crew to build their empire after knocking all the sticks down…unfortunately they knock the sticks down as often as a 2 year old. Pay has not kept up with COLA while execs more than exceeded COLA. DEI has backfired thru accelerated misuse of metrics to disadvantage MLK’s dream. I don’t want a job because of the color of my skin, my gender, nor my beliefs. I see this quiet struggle where leaders are promoted by demographic not capability. This short sights the significant accomplishments made and do I really deserve it? Hopefully the lawsuits don’t start flowing due to reverse discrimination for new hires in US as I only seen focus to black, Latino, and women thru our intake channels, interviews, and hires. The point of this company culture is to build lasting friendships based on common passions like diesel engines, cars, golf,..not find a clic of people I can relate to based on my demographic. The irony is not lost to me how detrimental this practice will end up being to the companies culture and “brand”. Don’t get me started on the move to further off-shore to India …can only assume we will sponsor fewer visas now to give these folks a taste of America or compensate them appropriately.
