Panasonic reviews

I've never been as happy to see a company disappear in the rear-view mirror as I am with PAC. Working here has been a real low-point in my career and life due to the quality of people I was forced to follow. Management in Lake Forest is a literal joke; very few supervisors are respected and managers and directors might as well be on the moon for all they contribute to the daily grind. In the last two years, they couldn't even figure out how to fix or alleviate the awful parking and bathroom situations. In fact, every inexplicable action taken simply put more burden on workers. After removing all the cubicles and sticking employees together elbow-to-elbow at long tables, we all started catching colds and getting sick more often. (In retrospect, another preeminently bad decision by executives.) In return, raises were cancelled and cute little music videos started appearing on the internal Yammer site, claiming we were all part of one big family and promoting solidarity. It was laughable; they simply couldn't do anything right to turn the morale ship around. The recent layoffs were handled with typical inelegance; no phone calls, emails or handshakes - just a mass Teams meeting with access cut off for an encore. Panasonic tried so hard to create the illusion of a positive culture but it was like watching the Flex tape guy invite you into his boat - you just knew that the whole thing was bound to come apart sooner rather than later, driven by maniacs (or in this case, idiots). #ONETEAM

Where do I start? -Place is a sinking ship. Don’t believe me? See all those jobs open? It’s cause others have quit. -Execs leaving after a few months on the job. - other execs getting pushed out because of politics and turf building -Employees getting fired for made up reasons. If a manager doesn’t like you, they make up reasons like “non-compliant” and fire you. HR doesn’t even question it nor protects employees. Just google “cokinectic” where a Panasonic employee whistle blew and got fired. That’s illegal but Panasonic didn’t care. - inept management. Never in my life have I ever seen management so ineffective and clueless - company just uses “compliance” as an excuse to add more bureaucracy and paperwork to your job - company is left with lifers who have worked there for 10 years while technology left them behind
