Upper Management Does NOT Hear Us - Team Lead Monarch (NC) Employee Review

Upper management dictates down decisions without asking us what we need/want. Adding extra staff to our team without letting us interview or letting us even know, changing the dynamic of our team culture, affecting our team budget, not allowing for our input. Dictating commands to us through new staff who are friends with the CEO. Low morale due to this. Not enough care for staff morale, especially for those who worked the entire pandemic with no reimbursement for using our own equipment in the field (our cell phones, ipads, laptops, etc.). It is so frustrating to feel like our complaints go no further than our own supervisor. We have lost a lot of good staff due to that.
