What Do You Do?
You have started on a new job, and based on the
interview and discussion with people prior to
accepting the job, you were led to believe that
the company strongly believes in employee
participation, engagement, and flexibility. After a

however, all you see is command-and-control, with
little opportunity for you to provide any input.
