I just read through this whole thread and as a former employee of 20+ years, I have to throw my two cents in. To start, Joe Clayton is simply being the spin doctor that he was hired to be.
The survey is 100% accurate and he and every member of the Dish senior management staff know and even encourage it. Dish, and Echo for that matter, is management by intimidation at it's best... or is that worst.
Now is Dish the worst company to work for in America, heck if I know. But they most definitely are up there in the running.
I am still in very regular contact with many people there and continue to here the same stories over and over. We always laughed at the form that HR made us sign that had a statement that "our employees are our most valuable asset" followed by the statement that "employees may be terminated at anytime"
Fortunately I am one of many who have migrated to the competition. Saying there is a night & day difference would be a massive understatement!
