Employees are asked too often to work overtime, leaving less time for employees to spend with their families. Hard workers and good workers are less appreciated, and it seems the only way you can advance in the company is not through hard work, but by cozying up to upper management, and employees are offered promotions under the table, and post internally to save face when, but they already promised the job to their favorites, not giving anyone else a chance. Hard workers have to pull the slack of all the "bosses favorites" because production does not matter for their favorites, but if "you" don't give 110%, they think you are slacking. Lab employees severely underpaid.
