One example of this type of lapse is within a company that I recently worked for. I started working for them and was told that after ninety days I would be evaluated . That ninety days came and went and there was no discussion of an evaluation or raise either one. When I inquired I was told that the company has more pressing issues that needed attending to. I soon after resigned from that job, but did take experience from it that I carry with me today.
Employees have an interest in ethics, but a different view from the corporation.
Employee safety is a concern. By law, employees cannot be fire without just cause and companies incorporate that into their code of conduct. I have an example from someone who works in the USDA Agriculture Department. She explained to me that they have evaluations twice a year and during those evaluations there is a list of things that they are critiqued on. They each have to set goals for themselves and are also evaluated on that.
