No one expresses appreciation of effort.

Not leaders in any way - 100% self-serving people.

Working collaboratively with my co-workers and avoiding unnecessary meetings.
Raises seemed to be the exception, even with good solid work (even excellent in some cases).

Seeing first-hand the office environment up close and person versus how it is portrayed by social media.
When you don't have a basic raise (i.e. 2% or less) in 5 years, there is something wrong with the compensation model.
Most colleagues are right there in the trenches with you - but it is very clear from management that certain members are the "favorites" (also known as sycophants).

So detached from their employees and yet so simultaneously smug in their self-identified importance, that they can't even understand how out of tune they are with the workers that keep the company afloat.
Upper level management has a consistent theme of throwing some employee under the proverbial bus for their own shortcomings or bad management. Coupled with poor hiring decisions, it makes the environment one in a cycle of churn 24/7.
