Sales and the leadership of this company knowingly and willfully put the execution team in to repeated no win scenarios. I had the opportunity to interface with much of our senior leadership and it became apparent they have no respect for the managers, site teams, and engineers. They do not defend us against unreasonable customers or their expectations. They take the easy way out for themselves but leave it to us to figure out how to make their unreasonable promises to the customers happen. All while giving no support and pitting teams against each other. Rewarding my mangers was difficult. Buying meals for a project well done requires prior executive approvals (which they do give) which makes surprise rewards being potentially on your dime. Raises were also very lackluster and homogenized. Good performers and bad performers were treated nearly identical. Many of my reports realized this and simply moved on.
