Not all management should be in the management position. Too many can't handle the stress of a managers responsibilities without taking it out on their team members. No trust in the associate's with the highest seniority. If there is a change in management, the rules and expectations shouldn't change. However it sometimes becomes about who the team leader likes or has a personal opinion about. Some areas are easier to work for. Its a more positive environment in the warehouse verses the production areas. HR or AR is the worst department in handling situatons appropriately. HR is too worried about blaming and accusing instead of fixing and helping. NONE of the HR or AR people EVER investigate from the plant floor observing interactions with so-called "drama starters" and "trouble makers." They don't actually have physical proof of anything and just twist words to sound like they have proof. A person hired in for 2 years can lie just try to get the 10 year employee fired if he/she cries hard enough. That office assumes it's the same person causing an issue and that no one talks to each other outside of work. While they investigate a complaint, the already uncomfortable situation stays that way while the associates still have to report to the job. The hostile environment is encouraged instead of promoting a positive outlook and resolution.
