Decision making is made at a much to high level. Managers are not allowed to make decisions for their team and are handcuffed to corporate dictatorship. (Example - during Covid, certain roles were forced to be onsite even if their responsibilities have been demonstrated to have no impact due to working from home.) And MANY other examples.
Software rollouts for Micron's operations are EXCESSIVELY buggy and do not work as intended. The running joke is that the end users are the beta testers. The legacy systems are deactivated and end users are forced to deal with the new non-operational software.
Restrictions on the IT front are rampant. Many tracking policies are put in place and most permission policies are super intrusive and inhibitive.
Many individuals have to spend more time covering their butts than doing their job. They spend more time asking permission to do things (and placing the blame if something goes wrong on others) than innovating and problem solving. This is how the management operates, if an individual makes a mistake, the management slams the door on their hands. This stifles innovation, and creates a workplace governed by fear.
