There seems to be a stark polarisation. There's a whole host of businesses that have become extremely cagey and fearful due to the recession and their lack of ability to cope, and are "coping" by trampling on their own team. On the flipside, there are however a few exceptional businesses as well, that are treating their team well both financially and emotionally, but the ratio of fearful businesses to the exceptional ones is something like 9:1 <-- don't quote me on this, i'm making a random figure up based on my observation, and the reality is probably quite different, but hopefully you get the picture of what i'm saying.
