Do you trust your immediate manager enough to ask them about these concerns? Do you think they might be able to help? Talking with HR is also an option with these kinds of concerns. But, especially given that your company doesn't sound very employee-friendly currently, you have to beware of risks: (1) HR might not be open to input, and just flag you as a malcontent; (2) HR might go to an exec to suggest changes, and exec reacts negatively and demands HR say what prompted this. FWIW, as corporate BS goes, what you describe sounds like pretty ordinary indifferent corporate bureaucracy. I'm not saying it's OK, but if you want something better, you will have to seek that out and vet that during a job search. Also, be aware that corporate BS can get much worse than what you described. (P.S., Although I strongly disapprove of timecard fabrications, you probably don't want to mention the timecard fabrications to anyone. I suspect that most likely bad would come of drawing fire upon that.)
