#badleadership

Let me list what seems impossible here. Having executives who aren't a complete clown show. Keeping talented employees. Having a work environment that isn't toxic. Recovering from the gross negligence we've seen. I could keep going but you get the point.

Some companies have favorite departments or favorite people. Not Oracle. They seem to genuinely dislike everyone equally. From the newest hire to the twenty year veteran. Nobody is safe from the bad treatment.

NIKE IS DONE!!!
WE 3 BAD CEOS MP JD EH
AND WITH BAD ECONOMY, I THINK THAT MOST CONSUMERS ARE CHANGIN THEIR TASTE.
MOST YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BROKE AND THERE IS NO YOUNG CUSTOMER BEING CONVERTED TO NIKE CREEDO.

DEAD AND BURIED!!!

At Chevron for employees its a race to the bottom with MW and his terrible team running this S Show. What is the next soul crushing move for this leadership team? Will we take turns cleaning the bathroom? Work a mandatory 6 days a week? No AC in the office? Bring your own TP in? Anyone have any idea as its been a couple months since they made things worse!

EM trading must su-k to lose this much money when all others are creaming. TGs leadership of Trading is equally bad to her leadership of HR where she systematically f’d the company for the long term. BP, Shell and the trading houses are all claiming industry high earnings and we lost a boat load of cash. Amazing. TG and DWW should be NSId out of the business and not golden parachuted

Yes - I am talking to all of you incompetent VPs, Senior DIR and DIRs. That's the post.

In fact, I wish I’d left sooner. I stayed because Verizon still had this reputation that made it sound like a career making place to work, and everyone around me kept reinforcing it. Looking back, I spent years putting up with bad leadership and a toxic environment because I thought the name alone made it worth it. The hardest part is realizing how much time I burned before accepting the place had changed a long time ago.

Efficient workers got punished with more work.

You will never get paid what you’re worth.

The exploitative people in charge are paid for their cruelty.

People who don’t care are the happiest at their job.

AVE in Santa Rosa literally helped build the coronary and SH business for medtronic, otherwise they would be still selling just batteries

It’s very sad what they did to Santa Rosa over the years. I started my career there and spend 10 wonderful years it su-ks that GM and his bunch of cronies will keep buying more houses in Florida and Hawaii while the average people with kids and mortgage lose their jobs.

GM has to be the worst CEO in this company’s history. Great job GM

Just because you hate someone doesn't mean they live in your head rent free. Jeff Clarke is a proven useless id1ot! It's an acknowledgment of fact, nothing more. More people should acknowledge truth and fact rather than burying it and wondering why nothing ever changes for the better.

This is the periodic reminder that while L and D field advisors are performing well the same can’t be said for their leaders and so called directors who don’t do much of anything.
This bad performance starts with Tractor Man and goes all the way down.

Looks good on the outside but at its core, just rotten. Very polished, good story. When you look under the hood it’s a vile, rotten place filled with rotten SVPs and executives who all have sh!t in their pants.

They need to be able to make great slides to hide their incompetency so they hire consultants. They’re greed, self centered people who would stab you in the back in a second without thinking about it. They’re incompetent, immature, a$$ kissing, vile human beings who are nothing but greedy.

Get out of Dell if you can because there is absolutely nothing behind that stock price and it’s going to drop like a rock.

The worst of the worst types of people are at Dell and it’s not going to get better.

Have to be two of the worst AI tools I have ever used

No wonder these pieces of cr-p are the ones fiserv mandates

I had 15 years with the company but my department decided to lay me off instead someone that’s been there 2 years. That’s not fair at all. I trained people, was always on time, worked weekends and overtime while being salaried, all that dedication and this is the thanks I get. I’m very hurt and disappointed in UHC. They have no loyalty at all! I will never work for them again good riddance!!

This woman and ELT seem to be working non stop to find every way possible to make our jobs and lives harder on purpose for no reason other than greed and contempt for the very people that keep this ship afloat. Is there nobody at the top level that has the guts to stop this vicious woman before she destroys everything? Even the branches are not immune to her insane decision making. It's like she hates all of us and can't wait to sell us out.

So it starts, now well publicized on the news Sycamore is closing stores under the guise of security or safety, and while that's a concern, their goals are to get out of leases to reduce their debt obligations (somewhat good), and pad their pockets by selling off any real estate that is owned. However, it is NOT with improving the business in mind. It is purely a way to pay themselves. Look at their history on their other large holdings, Staples they are continuing to reduce stores under the premise they are low performing stores, but in many cases it's just to cook the books. Essendant, they sold off the majority of their real estate for millions as a cost reduction for low performing, closed the majority of their business, but never invested back into the company. Talbots, Hot Topic, Belk, Pure Fishing they are closing stores/warehouses/offices and leaving just a shell of businesses they will never invest back into to improve. Sycamore is evil, and just plays with people's lives to line their own pockets over and over again.

Hey all, here again. My long tenured role within capital one was not fairly compensated. Amidst my rapid, unjust departure, all I was provided for years of high level work was a cheap necklace from capital one. It’s actually broken and is being held together by my hope and dreams crushed by capital one and their toxic work environment. A cheap necklace is the embodiment of capital one as a company.

State farm been getting over on everyone lately when hear it is we pay our bill faithfully every month but can't help customers that pay that bill every month my house was had water damage that mess up my daughter and son room they try to offer me 500 dollars what is that going to do get some materials ok they told me it was my roof I got it fix out of pocket and they didn't want to help me fix my children ceiling I wish I never ever dealt with them

I'll be brief - almost all of them are always performative, vague... overly scripted and fu--ing unable to execute...

This shithole wouldn’t know talent if it punched them in the face. HR is a bunch of talentless Karens that only use is to be a meat shield between employees that do work, and our d-mb as fu-k C suite. Can’t wait to be out of this dysfunctional company

Several long time employees were FIRED last week for not returning to the office despite manager approval. Fired, no severance, gone after high performance and decades of service. Nothing descent matters to these people.

Nike is an eloborate blend of MLM & ponzi scheme.

They do know that they still have the brand name and a lot of clueless young people being exposed to the woke coolaid.

They indoctrinate you into the cult during hiring, serve you the coolaid.

First you feel amazing, you feel you belong and that you live in disneyland.

Slowly in your 2nd/3rd year you start to realize the defects, meaningless promotions, no career advancement, complete lack of accountability and a culture of retaliation.

Than you start to see the RNC mind dressed up in the "woke" clothing.

You start seeing that leaders dont give a cr-p, they dont care about serving the shareholders or the consumer. They are only interested in keeping the ponzi from collapsing while they enrich themselves and their close circle.

It is a small club and you aint a part of it and never will be.

Every quarter they drill on you, blame you, subjugate you to BS performance reviews.

after 5-10 years, you start getting disillusioned, the same problems that you spotted while you first joined is still there. Critical functions still lack headcount while billions are channeled for resume fillers for certain leaders.

At that point you need to be managed out and recycled with a fresh doe eyed new grad that thinks Nike is a serious business.

and the cycle keeps going on until the ML & ponzi hybrid collapses.

this is a warning for the new employees.

We were in your shoes once,

We once bleeded orange,
Now we are only bleeding.

"You are now informed"

Sunday again and I realize I hate this place even more than I did countless past Sunday's. It's getting worse each and every day, I'm sooo embarrassed to be associated with this place and looking for another job. I will take their money as long as I can but have to leave. If SF didn't have sooo much money in the bank it would have went out of business years ago. I do not believe SF is en a legitimate business anymore. They Executives are so detached for any realm of reality it is mind numbing. Everything they do is some kind of cut rate mind f-ck or woke delusional fantasy. Sad thing is it will get worse! Please offer everyone some type of severance, leave it to the bootlickers, woke crowd and Kool Aid drinkers..... Enough is enough....

Have to share. Scrolling through the org chart on Friday realized that Nike is just now a corrupt diploma mill of engineering job title. Seriously a complete joke. I saw that consistently if people were promoted internally over time it was probably a lie. Promoted twice means even less valuable and less talented. If you don’t agree try scrolling through the org chart on Monday and see for yourself. Ask if those who are still here after this week and prior cuts - what did they really do to be promoted and how valuable are they really for actual work? I noticed was that 95% are total frauds and the number of frauds is endless. And some of us now the talent gutted janitors are expected to simply pick up the garbage while useless and corrupt managers sit around and give high fives to themselves? This is not why I came it’s terrible and corrupt and no good engineers. Any where to sign up for next layoffs would be nice.

I hate everything about Dell. It used to be a good company. Not anymore. The greed, the arrogance, the incompetence, the abuse, the corruption, the dishonesty - it's a SHIITHOLE.

I commit to continue doing absolutely nothing and getting a pay check for it. Dell deserves nothing more.

Well, the time has come. It’s the last night of the Crown Castle nightmare that has been the lives of those of us in the perimeter. I’ve lived through Covid, several RIFs, the lineup of C-suiters that have exited (one took her broom with her), the forced move and then backtrack, offices shuttered, and now a 2.5 year long divestiture process. Heck, I’m beat.

I’m under no illusions that the new company will be perfect…far from, but I’m not going to troll this page anymore. I’m sure I’ll hear about it over drinks with my old Crown friends, but I won’t be active on here anymore.

I’m proud of the work that my friends (maybe even some of you) and I accomplished, despite the mismanagement, craziness, and fear of what’s next. We still did a fantastic job with what we were given. I’m going to miss a lot of people, but I’m sure everyone will be just fine wherever they end up.

For those going to Arium, good luck on starting over with the dedicated company focus that you always deserved.

Zayoites, good luck on an established organization that has pet insurance!

For my Crown 2.0 generation, when the Colonel sends out his email tomorrow, announcing the dawning of the new Crown, hang in there. You’ve outlived how many CEOs? I’m sure many of you will outlive this one…unless he sells the company, which is entirely possible.

The worst thing to happen to Bnsf railway was , " Berkshit Hathaway". Trading peoples livelihoods for profits. No different than when they were burning people out of their homes back in the day to lay tracks !!!

How do you drop the best reservoir engineer in the US like that? Feels like a race to last after that move.

I am afraid that laying off people here and there won't cut it.

Sh-t started going down on last years of MP
And 3 or 4 years of JD's sh-t
And 18 months of EH feeble efforts.
That means that Nike has been on downward slide for 7 to 9 years.

And pandemic's boost made d-mb JD a distorted view of reality, leading or not leading to cliff that we are experiencing.

EH's small scale effort will not change anything. He can layoff until he is the last one left. We might as have same or better result praying and knocking on the woods!!!

Bring back the wolves!

The sheep in place have ki-led this company. All yes people focused on managing up, not results.

I’m gonna say this plain and simple — this company is rotten at the core.

I’m telling you, the experience was beyond frustrating. It’s the kind of disappointment that sticks with you, not because of what happened, but because of how it all went down.

What really gets me is the lack of integrity in leadership. The SC leader — all flash, no follow-through — will tell his team one thing, turn right around and tell senior leadership something else, and somehow still walk away taking credit for work that ain’t his. That doesn’t happen by accident. That’s a culture that allows it.

I sat through that Appian World presentation and just thought… “this is what we’re backing?” It wasn’t just weak — it was a clear case of style over substance. And the fact that nothing changes after something like that? That tells you exactly what this company values — and what it doesn’t.

Folks who put in the work, who show up and deliver, they’re the ones getting pushed out. No fairness, no honesty. And yeah, that leaves a bad taste. Not because of the outcome — I’ll land on my feet — but because of the way it was handled. When there’s no transparency and no accountability, trust doesn’t stand a chance.

And if you want proof beyond the inside story, just look at the market. Ten years public, and the stock’s barely moved. That ain’t bad luck — that’s a signal.

This isn’t a company hitting a rough patch. This feels like one that’s lost its direction altogether.

If you’re on the SC side of the business, I’d take a long, hard look at where things are headed. Don’t sit around waiting for it to turn — by the time it’s obvious, you’re already in it.

GN&T has too many incompetent and wasteful people in leadership positions. I don’t think Accenture has the know how or the perseverance to sort this situation out. More than likely, they’ll end up throwing out the baby with the bath water!

Three words. What a mess!

We witnessed our leaders in a dark room with bad lighting. There were sound issues that went on the entire meeting that was giving me a headache.

Our senior leaders talked for 30 minutes about what food they like. The last 30 minutes were a blur of non sense. They all looked like they hate each other and have not exercised in 15 years.

I walked away feeling d-mber for having used my time to attend that meeting. Thank you.

Hopefully an announcement next week. This is beyond ridiculous. Under qualified and incompetent knucklehead.

Best of luck to you all living with this braindead bozo leadership. I won’t be coerced into “doing more with less”. You claim market based but don’t compensate market based. I’m done going above and beyond for a company that doesn’t even offer basic flexibility in return. Welcome to the world of 8 and skate. GFY! This ship is sinking, fast!

The culture is so bad that people end up becoming worse versions of themselves the longer they stay here. It takes a special kind of talent to pull that off, but SF has always been an overachiever.

BD Mebane has a very bad track record of hiring friends of HR and upper management along with management that can’t make decisions and push the blame on lower employees

When will the people here be held responsible for all of the bad decisions they make. How can a company of this size act this tjis

I looked at who survived our last two layoff rounds and it's baffling. People who haven't delivered anything in years are still here and people who carry the whole team got cut. Someone decided that. Someone looked at the list and signed off. That person has terrible judgment. They should be at the top of the list when the next round comes.

I've been a top performer here for eight years, but lately I feel like I am losing my mind. My manager moves targets constantly and then acts confused when I miss them. A coworker who does half my work got a big promotion last quarter. I know I should leave, I just don't believe I am good enough anymore. This place did that to me.
