Not only is the building in absolutely horrible shape, but the morale of the employees leaves something to be desired. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst, this situation deserves a "10," for both bad morale and building problems. When an employee spends each day working in this type of bad environment, it is a problem. It is impossible to do a good job. Get some investors, a billionaire on Forbes list with money to burn, move into vacant buildings which are in better shape, or get property developers to build a new place before the next earthquake or severe windstorm topples the building over and demolishes everything. Then you will have a real mess.
