Top-down management leading to high employee turnover - Anonymous employee Lyreco Employee Review

However, reality is not what it seems. Some departments have a very poor and discouraging work atmosphere with employees having little development opportunities and too much workload which leads to frustration, exhaustion, sick leaves and high employee turnover, especially in demanding expert roles. Other reasons are poor management, micromanagement and unnecessary bureaucracy. Very old-fashioned top-down management model where employees or mid-management are not trusted and given responsibility, but instead important decisions are made at the top management level without listening to employees.
