Middle managers/supervisors ruin what could be a great company. - Anonymous employee KBR Employee Review

All employees are not treated the same when in regard to benefits or pay. Middle managers/supervisors get paid very well while a lot of them push their workload down to others and then take credit for it. HR tells you what your position requirements are, which they are very adamant about, so they can keep your salary/offer on the low side. Once you are performing the work, those same managers/supervisors will require you to perform/provide services that HR "specifically" stated are not part of your job/contract/position. You really have no recourse except to leave, because these specific managers/supervisors above you are protected by their managers. Managers are very slow to respond to individual inquiries/issues. They will basically ignore you, with the hope that you will just stop bothering them. If you state your intentions to go to a higher authority they will promptly contact you. They only respond with a phone call or in a one-on-one setting. They are very reluctant to put anything in writing out of fear.
