Most managers are significantly underqualified and lack proper business acumen and experience to perform their roles as managers in the department they manage. This is the number reason why the company experiences low "talent alligience scores". Managers are also allowed too much control in their level of decision making, with no balance of power to allow the employee to succeed, grow, get a raise or move up. (And if you manage to get an annual raise, it will be a mere 1-3% of the pay modifier the factory designates.) They don't tell you this during the interview process.
Managers get bonuses based on how much of their annual budget and pay modifiers (raises) they are able to retain. This makes their devisive, agenda-driven behavior even worse. The abuse of power and lack of proper leadership throughout the whole company makes it an impossible place to succeed. I was once told by an ex-manager that during one of their manager meetings, doing 10% more with 10% less each and every year was expected, and that fear and greed are the desired means of driving employees to fulfill their goals. How can you operate like that?
