Promotions only go to those who suck up or 'know the right people' If you're the type of person to voice your opinion to the opposition, be prepared for the target on your back. The majority, if not all, managers, including functional managers/directors or whatever they want to call them now, will not acknowledge your successes but will primarily focus on every little thing you did wrong or not to their personal satisfaction. They'll say employees work/life balance and happiness is a core value of the company (coming from Hitachi) but its never been shown that this an accurate and sincere statement. Bottom line, is money. YOU are replaceable. YOU are a number. Crestview, an INVESTMENT company, showed they cared and appreciated employees more than the new parent company ever has.
