One on one aspect of the manager asking for ideas of my own making. Askin for my input and seeing what my ideas would be to help improve the overall function of the team as a whole, not just touting a company line.
Local team mates and manager. For the last several years it seems that a big disconnect has appeared in upper management almost like politicians treat their constituents...Upper management knows little about the field/areas they are representing and put forth little effort conpared to their pay.
Compensation should be judged on value to the company as a whole. New hires that are compensated at the same wages as someone with 8+ years in the company is a slap in the face to loyalty and time put in. value and worth over time should be compensated. Pay shouldnt be limited by a set scale.
