It usually comes in the form of arrogance from the top down. Rather than meeting with employees that deal with customers everyday, management often bypasses their employees' ideas (and often the customers). You can usually tell how a company treats its employees by looking at how it treats its customers or clients. Even the best plans and processes are useless without a talented, passionate team. Those sort of passionate employees don't tend to stay around long in a hostile environment. Unfortunately, that happens all too often. It usually comes in the form of arrogance from the top down.

It was interesting to watch the office climate change while we were basically doing the same thing as we always had. The new layer of leaders announced to us all once that the success of the business had nothing to do with any of the employees, we were all expendable. nice......
