      Senior management isn't recognizing the importance of engineer retention

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The majority of middle management is trying hard to retain employees and backfill empty positions. There is a consensus of most employees that things will eventually get better.

      Cons

      There has been a loss of a lot of talent in the Houston area and this has created a strain on the remaining engineers. It appears that all compensation and benefit decisions by the current upper management have been negative for the majority of the employees.

      Upper management has been slow to recognize that retention of engineers is a concern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most all the employees want to become the "#1 petrochemical company". Employees support each other and attempt to move priority items to completion. Most managers are working hard to retain and promote their employees.

      Cons

      We are currently in a situation of losing mechanical engineering talent in the Houston area. This is creating a difficult statement in "goal zero". Compensation is not retaining or recruiting new talent. This has multiple effects with the management resources required to backfill positions and the distraction of engineers.
