Senior management is disrespectful to employees, turn a blind eye to product failures and to quote a Sr. Manager at Abbott: "Abbott needs to make money, its not like this design will kill anyone"
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The Leaders are more worried about their bonuses not the products delivered to Customers. The office politics are exceptionally brutal and toxic
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Poorly designed product is being delivered to Customers. Customers experiences with current On Market releases are going to negatively impact future sales of Abbott products.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The leaders need to listen to team feedback, they need to hold themselves accountable. Leadership needs to hire Directors and Managers that know the subject(s) to which they are to lead vs. reliance on "seniority" within the company.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Coworkers all have the same sentiment about the leadership and we all acknowledge that we are all trying to survive the toxic leadership environment. We work together to achieve the tasks . However, many colleagues are actively looking for new jobs
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Ask the Leadership to engage in meaningful dialog, know what are the Company needs they must fulfill. Internal hires need to be evaluated on skill, not seniority within Abbott. Leadership should not promote bad behavior or toxic personnel to more senior positions.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Abbott Leadership expects that employees call into meetings and complete work tasks while taking personal vacation. Work on weekends, to include Sundays, are expected of all functional team members to meet unrealistic program schedules. New parents are asked to forgo their time off for child care
