Older, authoritarian style of management used in lieu of more modern & empirical people centered management styles that address the needs of employees in order to cultivate higher productivity. Lack of respect for those truly doing the work at times. Those most productive often get dumped on rather than recognized and given opportunities to cultivate others in same practices. Upper management often fails to recognize their part in removing obstacles in order for their people to achieve the goals they set for them. Lots of promotion of system changes, following processes, but often falls flat when upper management mentality is solely focused on production regardless of method. Pay could be better for the responsibilities given, and work/life needs are often ignored. D&I is not real. It's promoted from corporate culture, but falls flat in execution at the plant level. Few recognized POC/Minorities in middle mgt positions, even fewer in upper/executive leadership positions.
