They are just another greedy American Company that will someday realize how bad a move this was and move everything back to the US. Good luck working with those short little Chinese F****

Totally agreed. Right after the outsourcing announcement, Zebra contracted 3rd party to survey employee satisfaction, my managers warned that all should provide positive feedback, since the company clearly knew who wrote what. I watch first hand how managers openly fight/play games against each other.

Terrible Management

Chicago, IL

I worked for Zebra years before the lay-offs. Yet, the same game-playing from manager to manager, department to department and division to division existed in rare form. Human Resources was notorious for their hypocrisy and vengence. Really, a difficult and sad professional experience.
