- What needs to change to make the company culture better?I stated earlier in a prevouis question.
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?I do not work with my coworkers as I support the customer directly.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?There is no "leadership". Managers and executives change jobs every two years and never have to face the consequences of their decisions. They ignore the people that stay in place, make arbitrary and counter-productive decisions, then leave for the next whirlwind to tear things down again.
