Only Company no-one seems to complain about is Bond. They run a tight ship. Staff know what to expect. No surprises or messing about. This is our roster. This is your pay. Do the job. Get paid. Look smart. Funny that Bond don't keep bringing in 'management specialists' to do the job. The bosses there know what the score is, what works, and what keeps the staff happy and quiet.
