- Management doesn’t allow the rank and file to make decisions or allow them pride of ownership.
- Management constantly reorganizes, shuffles people around, and changes direction constantly.
- Management doesn’t have or take the time to clarify goals and decisions.
- Management shows favoritism and gives some workers better offices, trips to conferences, etc.
- Management relocates the offices to another location, forcing employees to quit or double their commute.

- Management creates a rigid structure and then allows departments to compete against each other while at the same time preaching teamwork and cooperation.
