Unappreciated At Work?

A recent BusinessWeek article had me nodding in agreement. Here’s the link:

The irony is that the companies who are the guiltiest don’t see these things as problems – they don’t feel a need to implement change even though they whine about poor performance and constant turnover. I’ve worked for a couple organizations that really could have benefitted from this article, and I’m sure many of you have, too!

So c’mon, people. Share your best example of organizational mediocrity with us. Don’t name names, please, but at least let us know how the company is slacking. If you’ve already left for greener pastures, tell us about their epic fail. If you’ve managed to open corporate eyes to the issue, tell us your secret!
