#badleadership

It’s gone down for five years with no signs of recovery or innovation. Just fire 80% of these d-mbasses and move on with the 20%.

until they hit complete bottom in which company has been parked for few years with stocks around $4.00.
It is Deja vu but Nike is same slide and I have same feeling that I had when I was in UA.

With upper management clueless and losing a lot of time, it is eerily same thing that I saw at UA.

I hope that Nike is different UA but I just have a bad feeling that Nike will end up in same spot.

They're ki-ling the company and they don't even give a damn. As long as their wallets remain full, nothing else matters.

Layoffs, bad execution, bad people managers, no congruent operating procedures or plans. Not even my dog thinks TMO is running right 😂

There’s a viral Reddit post about a STT employee with stage 4 cancer who got terminated and no severance was paid out. Not sure I can link the post here but it’s on the /r/Boston subreddit. Can’t say I’m not surprised that the bank can stoop this low.

EH is a pathetic leader.
The board is a disaster.
PK is fading.
JD was also a disaster.
SKIMs. What can I say. DISASTER.

They never trusted the people close to the work and close to the customers to inform decisions. Old guard = fatal decision-making.

In my almost 20+ yrs with this company, I am now convinced it is not what you know, but who you know. The company is full of painfully unqualified leaders who are driving us to the ground. The toxicity is so unhealthy people are just trying to survive and do so by backstabbing each other. One thing I find very disgusting is to see people shamelessly flirting with leaders to be in good graces with them to keep their jobs or get ahead. Get out while you can, this isn’t worth anyone’s mental health and sanity. This isn’t the company it once was. It’s a toxic boys club supported by equally toxic women.

It’s so wrong to treat employees this way ! It’s a totally messy scenario! They are wanting to pay less so no calls lowers ranks they think they are smart but they are not it’s all being documented

Only took Frank 5 years to destroy a company and culture that had existed for 40 years. That's an incredible testament to his skills. That Bankster and his team could turn anything into a tu-d.

Honestly, I’m really disappointed by what’s been happening at Digital Surgery.

It’s hard to watch good people, especially good engineers, leave one after another over the past year. These are people who worked hard, cared about what they were building, and actually wanted the company to succeed.

At the same time, it feels like the people who make the most noise, talk the most sh-t, and play the politics game are the ones getting rewarded and promoted.

That’s incredibly frustrating.

No one should have to shout the loudest, put other people down, or play games just to be recognised. Good work should matter. Being decent to your colleagues should matter. Being professional should matter.

And when people are being gaslighted or treated unprofessionally, eventually they stop fighting it and they leave.

That’s the part that really hurts. Watching talented people walk away while the behaviour that pushed them out seems to continue.

There is something seriously wrong when losing good engineers becomes normal and nobody seems to stop and ask why.

Zero opportunities for growth and there was so many pricks up in personal business who cared about being a desk slave in the office and physical optics more than the work you do and help your team with!! Bunch of pathetic leaders who cannot lead and focus on all the wrong things

the environment has become incredibly toxic because of the forced ranking. I have seen people getting low rating for being on bereavement, when switching jobs, for taking vacation. I have seen people crying, because they felt the poor rating was not deserved. I have seen the LL2 level downgrading, because there were insufficient low ratings. Often playing favorites instead of relying on actual performance; even switching rankings to give a favorite a higher bonus.

I have seen a manager lose team members who were given to another manager. And then being dinged for not hitting numbers and he was basically told to find a job elsewhere, while the other manager was promoted without having to actually deliver.

I have seen people being absolutely targeted and harassed. Always looming the performance rating over their heads without an ability to actually improve.

On the other hand, the favorites do not need to deliver and are getting rewarded for incredibly low performance. It is all a popularity contest.

Exactly what @fk+1m3s4a1cp said.

When I hear a manager or a interm manager calling someone an associate it’s like nails on a chalkboard. It makes me so angry that I have a hard time even listening to what the say. The only “leaders” who say that are the pandemic panic (white unqualified people who were promoted so they wouldn’t get laid off NOT talking about race) and they are doing it to prove to themselves they are in their positions for a reason.

The role associate is the lowest level in my department and now they call us all associates no matter what our actual title is.

... you up and moved your home, your family, your life for RTO only to be laid off shortly after you got there.

Dell is such a joke of a company.

I am not going to mention any names but this has to be the weakest group of execs ever.

They just decimated their teaching staff, laying off dozens of full time professors in each department. I was told it has something to do with bad investments in Mexico. This is a bad sign. I worked there for 12 years and I was one of many let go this month.

Workers. At least that Is what they are doing in Ford Credit Customer Service Department. Most of the employees with the bad reviews did not get bad reviews until they needed to make room for non U.S. Employees. Ford Credit is tanking fast with this process already but they don’t seem to learn their lesson.

Just curious who else hates this job?

Ruining someone’s vacation or business trip every day.

Then it’s the nonstop ill educated managers giving directions.

Because employees short of badge swipe target. Was this the plan all along?

Yes, you heard it right. Your compensation and maybe even job will depend on how much of this garbage you repeat.
Yes, they are the worst batch of leaders NM has ever seen.
Yes, they spent millions of dollars and over a year to dream up what you just saw.
Yes, it was absolutely underwhelming.
Yes, they gave you absolutely nothing new.
Yes, there is no way this will work.
Yes, NM is in huge trouble.

"THEY" got rid of all the good workers in 2018, kept all the cheaters and are replacing the cheaters with incompetence. Wow who came up with that master plan, stick a fork in UPBD it is DONE!

I’m starting to think hiring incompetent people is just part of the Fossil business model. Hire someone who can’t handle the workload, then magically redistribute their responsibilities to the people who actually know what they’re doing. ✨

The hoops we jump through to accommodate people who are slowly dragging morale — and apparently the company — even further downhill are truly impressive.

And once they’re hired? They scurry under a rock so no one can ask the dangerous question: “So… what exactly do you do here?” Meanwhile, higher-ups quietly cover for them because admitting there’s a problem would probably require admitting who made the hiring decision in the first place. 😌

Truly, a fascinating organizational strategy.

If you’re still in a corp retail location I’d get out now !! The “3 year” promise is a scam, a lie!!!

My 31st service anniversary was 7 months ago. I've never heard a rude word directed toward me from my L3 until this year, and today was the the 3rd time since January. It made me angry and I interrupted him without thinking and told him to stop talking to me as if I was one of his ignorant children. I have 31 years of service, blah, blah, blah. Is this the new style of leadership with RTO? Anyone else seeing an increase in rude behavior from our leadership?

I’d rather x than work at BNY another year.

I’ll start…
I’d rather insert my arm into a bear trap and gnaw it off with my own teeth than work at BNY another year.

I couldn’t even imagine waking up each day and going to work at this pile of sh-t company that’s done nothing but go down in price over the last 5 years. I get a pay check but for the people who get RSU’s or stock comp this would be an epic fail. The BOD’s of this company should probably be in prison.

They have laid off so many people not one person wants to go the extra mile. Everyone is deflated, everyone says not my department. This company is honestly so fkd up. Why isn’t management stepping up? Protect the base ….. how about treat our customers with respect. Not one update from James Mc a total waste of space. Renewals are falling off a cliff and I’m being punished for it. Sort it out !

He is no good. He likes smoke and mirrors. He will try to sell bits and pieces to make his numbers and look good. He has no idea what he is doing. PNC - Fiserv both are so happy he is gone.

I truly do. It's making my life a living he-l. But I desperately need a job due to a health issue so there's literally nothing I can do about it. Fu-k my life.

What’s the point of having HR people that their only response is go to red? And that thing never has answers. So tired of getting zero support from people that have no idea what they are doing. They don’t do talent scouting, they don’t give support and they keep messing up the simplest activities of their position.

Every single one brings layoffs. Somehow roles which have nothing to do with it are always classified as redundant (I've seen it happen again and again) and people are kicked out. Every single time it's used as an excuse to get rid of good, hardworking people.

Why are we paying people to sit in meetings where nothing is ever decided and laying off good folks who actually do the work here? BP has plenty of fat that needs to be cut, but somehow it's never them who end up on the chopping block. When will that finally change?

We are drowning in horrible management. Please revamp mortgage fulfillment back to the way it was before these vertical lines took place.

Heard he crawled back under a rock

Severance for the July lay off just hit! I can oficially say I'm done with this place. Good luck to everyone still there! With the likes of Rebecca Grattan and all the other incompetent leaders you are going to need it.

I've had bosses I loved and bosses I couldn't stand in my 20-year career, but I never dealt with so many bad ones in such a short stretch. Most of them somehow ended up during my current four years at Synopsys. Not a single positive experience with a manager since I joined.

If you can get out of Fiserv/Clover, you should do it as quickly as possible. This company has been driven into the ground and is a shadow of what it used to be. The leadership is completely incompetent and they have driven off whatever talent they had. Now they are just hiring whoever is cheapest. It's doomed.

Scene: Doors of the Canonsburg office swing open. Three members of the Lollipop Guild emerge, wearing matching puffy vests, untarnished hard hats, purple sneakers, and holding enormous lollipops. Behind them, a banner reads: "Congratulations on your retirement! Please don't come back."

Lollipop Guild member #1:
"Yinz gather 'round. The day we dreamed of has arrived!"

Lollipop Guild member #2:
"Wake up, you sleepyheads, get out of bed! The nightmare of meetings and micromanagement is dead! "

Lollipop Guild member #3:
"No more surprise calls at half past three! No more, 'Let's circle back' endlessly! No more impossible deadlines to meet! No more getting tossed under the bus in the street!"

Lollipop Guild member #1:
"They would ask a bunch questions and change plans on Friday after four, then ask why the numbers weren't better than before!"

Lollipop Guild member #2:
"To your face, they would treat you like family with a smile so sweet, then cut three departments before we could eat"

All in song:
"Ding do-g, the exec is gone!"

With hands on experience dealing with our CHRO, he literally su-ks. I know we live in the time of bootlickers get promoted but damn DH is the d-mbest out of the bunch. Literally self centered, just talks a bunch of nothing and pretending to be all knowing. How the other SVP in HR did not get promoted boggles me and I would say most of the people in HR. Literally acts like he is the reason MF/SF are the reason they are still standing, like my guy you were another cog HRBP.

Anyone else want to vent about our cr-ppy senior leaders?
