I've worked at several companies over the years, and I have never seen anything quite like the culture of secrecy that exists here. Management hoards information, doling out tiny scraps only when absolutely necessary. They don't trust any of us to handle bad news or make decisions, so they treat us like children instead of empowering us to do our jobs well. The result is a workforce that's disengaged, frustrated, and constantly in the dark about where the company is actually headed. It's frustrating, to say the least.

my former manager was like that. She only talked to one of us and then she is shocked why we didnt know about it. She was deliberately making herself and her friend feel superior. it was ridiculous. she's been with Verizon for a long time. I wonder if that is how people survive.
Do you honestly think management and the ELT have a clue…look at how they have run this company into the ground!!
