Land of lemmings... - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Union Bank

Inane working environment. Nothing makes sense anymore but no one questions what their told to do. The thing is you will find clusters of people (fewer and far between these days) who really try to do a good job and attempt to challenge things that are just plain stupid. Flip slide is you have a large majority of people who are are mindless drones with no critical thinking skills and produce subpar work product. Couple this with senior management who are super secretive and your left with a toxic environment where it's a miracle anyone manages to get their job done. You can't be forthcoming about how the business really is doing lest your head be next up on the chopping block. Constant moving targets, lack of transparency by senior management (it's pretty apparent even the CEO doesn't want to be on his own CEO quarterly employee calls), never ending "reorgs" within and across business lines, and multi-phased lay offs (what are we on the 10th round in the past 2 years?) are forcing anyone with a brain and a pulse out. Are we one bank or now back to the two separate companies pre-integration? You spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to combine us, then it's "oops, my bad!" Now to save a nickel and compensate for our employees actually executing our poor business strategies, let's fire hoards of them, sell off businesses acquired less than 5 years ago, and shut down offices.
