The absolute mindless rule in the Midwest where management continues to lose thousands of dollars paying for empty buildings, lawsuits for shoddy work, poor planning, and horrible employee retention. I wonder, truly, if upper management is aware of what's going on or is the cause of this tragic debacle. Employees have been mistreated, their safety jeopardized by neglectful fiscal responsibility, screwed out of severence, and victims of cruel condescension.
In AECOM'S purchase of URS' work backlog, it will be interesting to see who eats who. With AECOM'S penchant for gobbling up companies, destroying their infrastructure, laying off support staff, firing project managers and engineers who do not meet utilization, and dim witted business acumen; in a seemingly aimless and reckless desire to make the bottom line facade seem acceptable to the shareholder, it has perverbially shot itself in the head.
New hires beware. You are in for great difficulty upon employment here. There is little or no advancement opportunity, very poor raises, non existent acknowledgement of good work, critically low morale, limited employee investment, and the garentee, with the many many staff reductions, you will be doing the work of three people before the year is out. If that doesn't sound attractive, how about coming into work in a toxic stress cloud of uncertainty that there will be that next precious job number to charge your time to before you are put on an elimination list to be let go. It's up to you.
