Why does DTE management hate its employees?

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Acceptable pay and benefits. Good job security given whats happened in Michigan lately.

Cons

Minimal or zero opportunities for advancement. Those that do advance do so by either being connected into the good old boy network or are the beneficiaries of a affimative action program. Too many middle managers run around from one position to another every 6 to 9 months without ever learning the job or their reports and stay just long enough to do some damage then get rotated to another position. Senior management is obsesed with comparing a utility with an infrastructure from the 1950s to those which are far more modern.

Pros

One of the few places where most of the work cannot be outsourced overseas. Managers that have been so poorly promoted that they have no idea what their employees do, so you could do nothing all day and they'd never know the difference.

Cons

Incompetent Senior and Middle management. Little or no communications. Nobody willing to take risks or present original ideas. Retaliation for trying to go above and beyond your job duties. An employee rating system that does not recognize exemplary work and classifies the work as just average. Management that looks out for themselves before the people that work for them. People that lie and misrepresent themselves to look good to "The Man". Promotions that are given because it looks good in the press rather than promoting people that can do the job and lead subordinates.
