The time-off and bonus programs are changing in this year and, personally, it is heading for a not so good direction. Company profit sharing is gone. PTO balance can no longer be carried over. Management says the change is to make it more flexible to use additional time-off and receive bonuses at the discretion of your manager. I believe they did this for the benefits of the share holders instead of the employees. This could seriously result in talented people leaving the company.

Management is perpetually confused and running back and forth with yet a new direction every other year and in the years between complete new directions they change the way that they are implementing the direction they chose last year. Employees have to be very careful of what projects they are working on when the direction changes or you'll be out the door in the (almost) annual Christmas layoff. Benefits continue to be cut to the point that there is no longer any guaranteed paid time off but only a possibility of a couple of weeks at the discretion of your manager (no accrual, no guarantees, no liability if you leave or are laid off). There is no consistency in promotions and a number of managers run their own little fief-doms where they implement their own promotion policies (i.e. promoting women only).
