There is an increasing distrust of Senior and Executive Management. They play favorites when handing out promotions, and they are becoming dishonest. They say one thing, but do another, and it's all designed to benefit them with regards to compensation, while they look for every means possible to reduce compensation and benefits for non managerial employees. They're putting a lot of effort into consolidating the wealth of the company at the very top, at the expense of the non managerial employees.

corporate environment -- constant threats of lay offs -- also, people are evaluated using a 360 evaluation, meaning that a great number of collegues evaluate your performance, up to 15 and 20 people, starting with your administrative assistant; so, unless you make friends with many, many people around you, then you will not have a lot of good recommendations from many people, and bonuses are based on recommendations from many of your collegues. So, you must be collegiate and friendly to essentially earn more money and keep your job; it is no longer about what your boss(es) think of you, but what everyone else does too.
