"Where do I start. Management really has no clue, you have a bunch of brown nosers that can't think for themselves and will throw you under the boss if your not on board in their game. You seriously have unqualified people managing a QA department and a purchasing department who use to work in the warehouse. You have the vp of his daddy's company who thinks he knows it all. This other so called vp who talks all this fluff about the employees being so important and doing this and that. Dude is like a used car salesman and sexual pig around the office with all the girls.makes lays has late nights if you know what I mean.
