Often very unreasonable deadlines are assigned to projects without knowledge of the amount
of work required and and what kind of resources and budgets are needed.
Don't start me on ConAgra's "Agile" methodology,
there is nothing agile about them, some of these projects have "dragged on" until
it was determined the project was not tracking,
so it was stopped.
Though ConAgra promotes "standard measurements" for reviews of employee performance,
there is still a lot of favoritism when determining rating.
At least in IT the managers change every few months, the priorities change all the time and this is making it difficult to work on long term goals.
