Let’s talk about fake empowerment. My job loves to say we “own our work” and “have a voice,” but every decision still has to go through five layers of approval, and every idea gets shot down unless it comes from the top. Does anyone else work somewhere that talks empowerment but operates in pure control?

yep, we all "own our work" until they take issue with what and how we do things.

Own your work in the way they want it done.

I know an old factory job I worked at did this. They would force us to take pride in our finished products on a daily basis but when we had ideas to improve our day or the processes, they would deny it and when quality went down hill, they'd jump down our throats blaming us. I've noticed this concept is common in manufacturing too.
