Management getting worse by the week - Engineering Supervisor Bendix Employee Review

Senior Management style (mainly COO) is not preferred by many employees. Most decisions are made by the BLC (Bendix leadership committee - includes CEO and COO and others). Strategy and tactical decisions are taken out of the hands of the middle management and employees who know the details the most. It results in a very political environment and micro management. The company is ran by a CEO with a finance background. In general the CEO is pretty good. But the company is extremely focused on its $$ rather than focusing on product quality and customer service which would naturally result in great financial performance.
