Sinking ship

Pros

Excellent health care Still a handful of non-toxic people working a LWR Respect for family/life commitments

Cons

Top heavy management with minimal support for people actually doing the real work Leadership quickly and easily cut workers while bolster senior management roles Previous open and transparent culture is replaced with a cult of personality for CEO Every year there are mass lay-offs of front line staff but management that are making poor decisions that put LWR into financial jeopardy are never held to account (for example, they previously hired a business development director that never put together a proposal in their life, shortly was fired after a year)
