Nothing any... full of politics, rude and unfriendly managers who just think I'm at the top of hierarchy and I can do anything

Dislikes

Leadership team decision to delay promotion and salary hikes whenever there is bad market situation so be it Covid-19 pandemic or US presidential elections 2016 they just panicked out of sudden and act unethically against the employees to fire them out of the job by deliberately and unethically penalizing them with the lowest rating in the year end appraisal process. Later the situation proves not an issue in terms of company still earning fat profits/revenues with only employee got affected.
