Concerns for a Company I love. - Lab Technician World Wide Technology Employee Review

In the few years I have worked here the morale has gone from 100% to almost zero. With the recent ban on headphones we (in the lab) feel punished and can see absolutely no logical reason to take that from us. I can say in all honesty that unless you are friends with leadership, you will remain wherever you are. I really felt this was not the case when I first started but I became close friends with my supervisor and it was very obvious that I had started to get ahead of my qualifications because of it. This has since ended but was very eye opening and kind of damaging to the view of leadership. THE PATH that is drilled into our heads is hard to keep at heart when you feel like leadership is constantly lying to you. I did not receive ANY compensation this year while my review I was being told how much of a value to my team I am and to not let it get me down. Even though the PTO system seems like a good idea it does not cover enough time to have time off as well as make sure you have enough time in case you get the flu or something and need like a week off. There is A TON of people throwing people under the bus in order to get where they want to go in the company. All and All we put most of our life at work or getting ready for work or driving to work. I really use to look forward to coming to work everyday but it has become hard to maintain that positive attitude with so much going wrong in the lab. I really feel there is so much more to say but fear these concerns are not looked at as anymore than another upset employee
