The purpose of this place, as dictated by the owning company Halma, is to produce profits. Fair enough. President and VPs get bonuses based on meeting monthly/quarterly/yearly sales goals. This has created a culture where management solely focuses on getting those bonuses. Period. So the ONLY thing that matters is pushing products out the door. Even when incomplete or defective. So there's no innovation, no sense of team, no real future. You either dig the coal (no bonuses, no chance of ever getting one), or you sell your soul and step on others to climb the ladder (in hope of getting to bonus level), or you abandon any sense of moral decency to defend your turf to maintain your bonus position. The only way to win is to not play.
