HR does not take the time to listen to employee issues. Especially when they are with one of the horrible Middle Eastern Directors who take micro management to a whole new level. You say you want to hire "the best employees who have years of experience in the field" yet when you bring them in you micro manage them to the point that it is a hostile and stressful work environment. Before I left I spoke with several people (management and non-management) who shared the same feelings and want out as well.
