I've always been honest with AES. Except for maybe my first one after I drank the Kool-Aid. I was still in awe that the largest retail company would hire me. After about a year the reality of ISD really sank in. One big Chinese fire drill. Driving from one ditch to the other. I've seen riots better organized.
Then we did the Harvest. That was when I realized that leadership was clueless. This is when morale pretty much hit rock bottom. Until now.
My managers have always been decent. There was one that only cared about the 'mission.' They did not care about personal problems. Had that military mentality.
It was always the upper management I never had faith in. They seemed to run with the philosophy of ready, fire, aim with the consequences be damned. Changing just for the sake of changing.
And now? Morale is lower than when we did the Harvest. I still hold a grudge that leadership has never fully apologized for the Harvest. They never admitted they made a mistake with that fiasco. I expect those still around in the next year will seriously look at there careers at WM and start to leave in droves because they don't feel secure in this jobs. I, for one, would rather get paid less for that feeling that my job is safe without that constant fear and anxiety that today may be my last day.
