The Price of Performance: Losing Sight of Our Core Values - Anonymous employee Moog Inc. Employee Review

Excessive layers of management and an overly complex organizational structure keep leadership out of touch with what is actually happening. Over the past few years, the company has pivoted away from its core values towards focusing on financial performance. Over this time frame I have noticed many changes, but the most alarming one is a sharp rise in toxic management behavior such as berating, demotions, micromanagement, patronizing, blaming the team, public belittling, etc. In some cases, people do talk to HR, but at the end they are not that helpful and the toxic behavior continues. It’s imperative for HR to take reports of such toxic behavior seriously and take meaningful action. It impacts morale, performance, mental health, and retention. Since the start, our founders established values for company to aspire to and to large extent Moog has lived up to. These are the values that the company touts on a regular basis and include treating people with respect and dignity. Moog is losing its very soul all to chase short term financial performance.
