Advice to Senior Management

equal pay

Pros

Decent compensation (especially consider the workload)
Good work-life balance (if you are not in TP)
Friendly workspace, people care each other
Nice working environment next to Lonsdale Quay

Cons

Incompetent Senior Management - they need their subordinates to "explain" things in so many different angles with same information - hardly can interpret information themselves

Typical unionized workspace - things get down slowly and delays occur consistently

Admins are acting as babysitters - middle managers rely them on thing like printing their emails (why can't they print themselves and spend extra effort to forward, instruct, and wait the paper back)?

Advice to Senior Management

Understand the organization is under transformation, it will be interesting to see how they can improve the efficiency. These middle to high managements are very high maintainence and extremely dependent like a bunch of 3 years old kids.
