If you are not an engineer, you will play by a different set of rules. New leadership at P&D has created a toxic environment that discourages diverse viewpoints and blames former employees for their own failings. Leadership of the Hood-Patterson commissioning division creates a hostile environment in the office at times for employees who do not share their political ideologies. Senior staff is also not held accountable for discrimination or repeated sexual harassment. "Non-billable" staff is often made to feel less valued than others, and has very limited opportunities. Arrogance is not in short supply here. There is also not much desire for progress - "we've been successful doing it this way for 75 years" is the typical response to anything new.
