Everything changed when key leaders retired and were replaced by individuals from the holding company. From that moment on, management began acting arbitrarily—reshuffling positions without clear reasons, dismissing long-serving employees with strong performance, and protecting those who were personally close to them, even when they lacked the skills to do their jobs. Some were even promoted despite their poor competence.

In several cases, individuals were placed in roles that had nothing to do with their previous professional background.
