There has been a lack of direction for 5 or more years in this department and the people are treated as disposable. Lay-offs and outsourcing made our morale hit rock bottom, and there hasn't been any reassuring news for a month. Projects that are brought to the department are poorly scoped, with feature creep, and changing goals. A 5 or even 1 year plan is non-existent, so there is no plan for anything beyond the current "priority 1" projects.
