L. B. Foster reviews about "management"

Penny-pinching UK management expect too much from under-resourced and over-stretched teams, key people are leaving and not being replaced. Promotions and pay rises are only available to the old boys' club which makes up most of the middle-management tier. Unrealistic forecasts are fed back to the US and no recognition is given to the staff on the ground who bend over backwards to try and achieve them. The only way they know how to invest is to acquire other companies which they then neglect.

Lot of hours, dirty work

Toxic environment. Lazy management. SLT takes no responsibility. No direction at all. Lucky if they are still in business in 12 months.

Poor management, lack of training.

Bullying management and inappropriate culture. Upper management is part of the old boys club. Overheard many of senior management making inappropriate comments about younger female staff. Problems start at the top, the book is handed down

Lower-level employees ignored or disregarded by upper management - efforts are not recognized

company is sinking, everyone is leaving and management hasn't got a clue. if you don't tell the md what he wants to hear then you're out for the ones who do even though they can't deliver. sexism is rife it's like working in the 1970s
