None that I can think of

job security concerns with many RIFs

Stress job because it is a manufacturing factory that operates 24/7

frequency reorg and industry cycle

The industry is a tough one.

- leadership was out for themselves

Executives are enforcing yes man tendencies, and getting routinely blindsided. The company broke export laws, and was fined 300M. The executives cut 300M in employee salary to cover the costs, which has netted a 30% employee reduction in the last 6 months. The company leadership isn't taking ownership of their responsibility for that decision. Employee wages are getting cut to fund stock dividend payments. The company budget for employee wages is now approximately 1/3rd the company budget for stock dividends. Promotions are drastically suppressed, and when they do happen are either made because the person in question is politically well established, or it's made out of desperation to retain employees. There is a chronic lack of vision about retaining and growing talent and leadership in an increasingly close to retirement age population. Critical departments are chronically understaffed, and when they do manage to pick up a competent or exceptional new hire, they quickly leave due to lack of career progression. Timelines for programs are so compressed that innovation is suppressed. Lack of personnel in critical departments is suppressing innovation. Lack of investment into innovation gets turned into poor management decisions when it comes time that we need massive changes. Risk tolerance is a bizarre mixture of extreme aversion to change, and totally impervious to potential downsides.

Lesser opportunity for local staff

Too frequent lay off affects employee negatively

boss only care for themselves & results.
