This ship is sinking :-( - Anonymous employee BioBridge Global Employee Review

Unfortunately, some departments do not believe in team work. Managers have favorites, Some managers tell your personal business to the team when you are out of the office sick. So, when you come back to work, your coworkers are asking you how to do you feel because the boss told them you were out sick or you had a doctor's appt. (not professional at all). The 2016 Employee survey is still horrible, employees are still not engaged (the company didn't reach its goal of employee satisfaction on their annual employee survey). Last year (2015) the survey was extremely low, so the past CEO decided to select 1 person to be the chair of 5-6 useless employee engagement committees. These committees were suppose to change everything. The only thing I can recall is, the Customer service committee had 1 week of activities (the company went all out and provided every employee a note and 1 tootsie roll (it said, 'Customer Service, that's how I roll'). Another committee, had its first Folk life Festival (that was okay). Then there was a Halloween contest , ASPIRE video contest. Unfortunately, this fun only last for 30-60 minutes and not everyone can attend because either your manager says the department is too busy or the activities are only held during the day and we have 2nd shift and 3rd shift employees. So guess what, the 2016 employee morale is still low. The real focus should be on Management and not solely on the worker bees. People are promoted without proper management training, annual performance evaluations are too cumbersome and the goals are not accurately aligned to the current situation of the business unit. People (the lower level employees -Techs) are overworked and underpaid.
