The Truth - Manager Aquestive Employee Review

As a current manager with MonoSol Rx I wanted to put some truth and perspective to some of the posts found here about the organization. While it can certainly be assumed that most of the negative posts found here were written by disgruntled former employees that have chosen to leave or have been terminated by the organization for one reason or another. It also can certainly be assumed that some of the statements made by these individuals are undoubtedly true. As a current member of the management team I would like to share my perspective on MonoSol Rx. In a recent post by a fellow manager a statement was that reflected the attitude of colleagues indicating that they were dependable and understood the meaning of the word TEAM. Other statements were made about potential growth within the organization and hard work goes a long way and is recognized. I have a completely different perspective on these statements and the "manager" that wrote them should probably stop sampling the medication. As for the colleagues being dependable and understanding the meaning of the word Team, this is a true statement. The hourly colleagues are dependable for the most part. The management colleagues are very dependable. You can depend on them being in closed door meetings and unavailable to hourly colleagues for leadership and support. You can depend on them to point fingers and quickly assign blame for their short-comings. You can depend on management to make poor decisions and you can certainly depend on them to destroy morale, create controversy and drama. The word TEAM by definition at MonoSol Rx means "I don't want to do this and someone else will carry my weight". It absolutely does not mean let's work together to make the outcome the best it can be. The possibility for potential growth within the organization largely depends on the amount of unemployed friends upper management knows that may be interested in the available position. While this isn't true of every position, it happens more than one might expect. This organization will go out of its way to find reasons why you are not qualified for the position rather than invest a little time and effort into continuously improving and training their current work force to be able to fill future needs. This leads to the next statement that hard work goes far and is recognized. A true statement, if it implies that recognition means an occasional Starbucks gift card. Otherwise the organization employs a Janet Jackson philosophy with a "What Have You Done for Me Lately" approach. In truth the outlook of this organization is disappointing and shameful. What a waste of a great technology. Upper management can't seem to find their way around their own arrogance to get out of their own way. A complete waste of a vehicle that inspires the improvement of others well-being. The focus should be on continuously improving that vehicle, instead it is wasted on building a multitude of lies and deceptions. The "Leadership Team", which for all intents and purposes should rename themselves the "Lack of Leadership Team", seems to be more concerned with brainwashing the colleagues with fallacies of an open, honest and transparent work environment than it is in leading and mentoring some of the bright minds that exist within the organization. They believe that success is found through ethics, integrity, and morals. This is not a bad concept if they practiced the concept in day to day activities. Sadly, the reality is that dishonesty and deception spews from the mouths of every member of upper management. The constant dishonesty has led to the fact that upper management themselves no longer realize the truth. Ethics, integrity, and morals are non-existent and the entire organization is fabricated on a structure of lies and deception. Senior Management continuously deceives its employees without fear because their arrogance allows them to feel as though they are of superior intelligence and that no colleague has the intelligence to challenge them. Sadly, those that do challenge the often brain dead ideas and objectives , realizing they will contribute to confusion, disorganization, and are not likely to set the "TEAM" up for success, find themselves dismissed from the organization. Senior Management has little to no experience in a true manufacturing environment and are willing to gamble the livelihood of their colleagues and investors on their deceptive tactics and inability to make educated decisions. What a dismal approach to management and leadership. The writing is on the wall, an extremely lucky organization to this point, it will catch up and be catastrophic when it does. My advice to anyone seeking employment here would be to run as fast as you can in the opposite direction so that you are not sucked into the cavitation of a sinking ship.
