As with any company, of course there are personalities that can be addressed, as they add a toxicity to the dynamics of inter-personal relationships within the office (not so much field). Unfortunately, this is overlooked more so than the norm, which, has a ripple effect on the end result being, unfortunately, negative. Management is caught up in 'titles' rather than the ability to manage people as individuals. I believe certain individuals in management are not qualified and are grossly overpaid, thus setting a tone throughout the office of being superior. Good, well-qualified, hard working and earnest individuals that have the best interest of the company in mind are either over-looked or let go, simply for the fact of seniority or second-hand information. In the years I have worked for LPC, there has never been a 'Manager' that fully understands the functionality of their staff, as well as their true strengths & abilities to perform. This begins at the level of the HR Department. HR & Mgmt are so far removed from the daily grind of the staff that they are completely out of touch. There have been a few recent layoffs and the sad part is, some of the individuals that were let go were a gross mistake. Looking at a timeline of hire and eliminating those most recent was the worst mistake LPC could have made. You have employees that have multiple years invested but - are beyond the scope of work, uneducated on the growing & changing times or are simply burnt out and capped off at a high salary. Rather then look at the work ethic, eagerness and the core ability of the employee, LPC checked off a timeline and unfortunately, let some pretty amazing people go. Absolutely wrong in this industry.
