If you are not considered professional, your bonus is a max of like $3k, while someone who is professional, will get a bonus of a % of their salary and it can be $20k - $100k. Of course, promotions only come from knowing someone.
There are a lot of people with Napoleon complexes. I have seen blatant ageism, racist and sexist behavior. I have seen adults crying in the restroom from inhumane demands, never seeing their spouses or children, and never being good enough. I am not specifically speaking about women, either.
If someone doesn’t like you, you are screwed. I have had lies written on evaluations. (And if you try to argue, you will be stuck in your job forever- seen as a troublemaker) I have seen others who were written up and fired over lies. And, going to Employee Relations is like talking to a wall. They work for Navy Federal and if there is an issue reported to them, they will pretend to be your friend and then stab you in the back to ensure you are to blame for all issues reported instead of the company or management. They should all work for the CIA- they would make great spies.
Management knows they are safe to belittle and bully employees until they quit. And once they are beaten down, they get fired for being useless.
They treat employees like crap and use fear to control.
I would rather work in actual hell than be employed there. I am so looking forward to retirement.
