Going down the tubes - Engineer II General Mills Employee Review

Wouldn't it make sense to pay in the top 10% or not the "average" if they only hire the top 10%. Falling head over heals for a new program sold to them by their competitor (P&G). The leaders obviously aren't leaders but followers. Going down the path of so many US companies that have failed. They just started from a better position given some of the fantastic leaders that used to work there so it will take a little more time for them to hit the dirt -but it's in the cards unless they change their ways. As for me, I'm bailing ASAP. To much dead weight at the top to ever change. They'll ride it down rather then admit that they are ruining the company and put themself out of a job. Pity is: a lot of hard-working employees are going down with them. Even worse, a lot of inside decision makers are funneling big bucks to their former employers (contractors) and will probably be rewarded with their old job back when things go to heck.
