For years, my experience was good."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Have an open mind. Be willing to admit mistakes. When new management is installed, they are quick to make changes without considering others. I know everyone should do what they are told to do.

If you want employees to be honest and be hard workers, managers should do the same for their employees"
