When a contract is won, an arbitrary budget is established by the PM that hourly workers furnish. Dudek's profit strategy is to undercut its technicians as much as possible, then PMs pocket the money in their semi-annual bonuses. As a result, I was asked often not to report hours I worked, or re-arrange hours to avoid overhead. Verbal abuse is general practice. I reported that my superior cut my hours as a punishment to higher and the response was "well, that's the way it goes sometimes." They do not promote from within, and because of their high turnover rate, this company will fold in the coming recession.
