Managers in roles way too long. After five years it's time to move on. Stagnant organizations, lacking diversity of thought by excluding external hires. lack of stimulating projects. Why so many Fellows who stay in their offices only answering to executive leaders.

Company is changing. It is less concerned about individuals, and more concerned about bottom line performance. Employees are increasingly more expendable- which can affect morale / motivation.
