People are treated as an expense line; not an asset
Pros: *Talented and committed individuals; diverse technology portfolio.
Cons: *People are treated like expense items. Decisions driven by short term financials without regard to mission and technological growth. Raises are minimal and not funded well. Investment in education/learning is almost non-existent. High pressure to deliver and continuously invent; while little means to get needed resources and support. 1st and 2nd line management have little authority while having to execute decisions made in the executive ivory tower. Decisions that continually comprise integrity and ethical practices.
