#badleadership

Enrique just continuing to ruin the mental health of all employees with his absolute lies and gaslighting

This company is criminal

If you're letting people go just do it already and stop talking rubbish

Forcing people to quit by destroying the morale in the whole company

The whole board should be scrapped

I worked for InAuth, which was acquired by American Express. The company was run by a bunch of people who didn’t understand how to manage a software project, create a marketing plan, or exercise any meaningful leadership skills. Management was highly motivated to increase their frequent flier miles and avoid getting fired before their bonuses arrived. Everyone was interested in making money and getting promoted, but no one wanted to fix the constantly-breaking software. Charles Crupper distinguished himself by his inability to understand who the bad actors were, and to believe every self-promoting id--t who came his way. InAuth could be a business school study in how MBA’s should not run a technical company. Stupid is as stupid does.

I said it before and I will say it again. Not enough American buyers want an EV. Hybrid is something a lot of people are interested in. Common sense with hybrid - you get enough range for more day to day driving off Electric, but still have gas for longer trips. Didn’t anyone at Ford learn anything from the Lightening flop? I called it back in the day. This Ford Fathom is gonna be the same deal. Bad bad bad. Waste waste waste.

Who are these “Yes” people telling BF this nonsense of EV’s???

Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell us we are doing well and then pull some bs like this. Bryan is taking home a gigantic paycheck compared to the size of our company. The greed of shareholders is really insane. Every company lays off thousands of employees like it’s nothing just because the profits were 1 or 2 percentage lower.

Largely managing employees out! Strict tracking, micromanaging then what…? Why can’t you actually appreciate your employees and make them happy? What do you lose if you drive productivity through respect and motivation rather than toxicity and back stabbing?

Layoffs confirmed, just after earnings

I work for the most incompetent and delusional human being I’ve ever met. That he has reach a high level is truly astonishing.

Baron's magazine stopped just short of calling Honeywell Aero stock a value trap today: "Put together, we see Honeywell’s growth continuing to lag its peers. While the valuation is relatively inexpensive, we fear that this could be a value trap." It's no longer Honeywell, but it kept the name and the worst parts of the business practices and senior management hubris. Time to clean house in the executive suite completely and get rid of the old Allied Signal and Jack Welsh disciples that do nothing but poison companies , set them up to fail, and then walk off with golden parachutes. The downtime from the IT migration alone was in the tens of millions of dollars in Q1 alone. The migration residual issues are still a huge and expensive problem that prevents people from doing their work. It's turned into it's own whack-a-mole-zombie-juggernaut nightmare. Run, do not walk, away from this stock until they purge the cancer at the top and show solid financial results.

A lot of executives VP, SVPs are waiting for their stock to vest. They have no incentives to help the field people with any of the problems, either it is Score, Support, Product issues. We are selling because of relationship and not because of any capabilities.

A lot of these oldies are rusted and need to get kicked out starting with Jeff Clarke. He is a Plague.

I'll start:

I'll paraphrase because I can't remember the exact sentence but it was a director that said something along the lines that he will "get more involved" again after being a total no show for the least 5 years and later when the culling started fu---d over hundreds of people.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I really wish I'd asked him on that call what the fu-k he actually ment.

Dear John. We would like some market based accountability on your dismal performance as Chief Ego Officer. All your inflated projections that don’t make a dent in your very poor performance. If we are treating talent based on performance you should have been gone a long time ago you mo--n.

For Gods sake please leave John. Nothing you will do will brighten AT&T’s future. The damage you are doing will lead to the company being bought out. Your ego has you frozen in place. You are the reason not the employees that the company is going nowhere. Your leadership is the worst I have ever witnessed. Take your shiny slick dome and ride off into the sunset forever!

Worked here some time ago, the management was terrible. Their so called 1, 2, and 3rd level leaders were extremely terrible human beings. They treated people poorly and there was no recourse for the staff. The higher level management just believed their lies, no accountability, it was a really terrible gruling experience.

I've been scanning other banks on this site, and it's discouraging. Everyone seems to be dealing with the same issues, from layoffs, to toxicity, to bad leadership. I want out, but I don't want to jump from one dumpster fire to another. Is there actually a better alternative out there, or is this just what the industry has become?

doesn't know how to run an org

The school is firing faculty and staff but opened a campus in India? They’re broke and will be closing, it’s obvious. They have treated their students, staff, and faculty like garbage.

Just awful!

Drive it into the ground, full stop until we hit rock bottom. Soon everyone is going to have to update their bios, taglines and all that jazz to Fortune 1000.

Someone better have some pixie dust handy and lots of pink slips to hand out to keep this ship afloat.

Exxon is a dysfunctional hellhole that is like bizarro world. Everything is run absurdly at exxon. Employees that are connected and favorites are given promotions. Supervisors are the types that would ki-l their own mother to get ahead. Think about your true performance compared to others in the company and is it true? Are you truly as worthless as exxon deems you to be? The answer is most cases is no. Exxon tries to motivate and scare its employees by fear tactics and intimidation. Employees are encouraged to outdo and tell on other employees. Gossip is rampant and perception is paramount. The friends and families are all connected and well protected at exxon. Exxon will try to break you down and destroy your self-esteem and dignity. Once you escape and leave this horrible place you can finally see the truth. It is like being trapped in prison or a bad relationship because it is all you know. If you can find a normal company to work for where you can excel and be your best you can see the difference. What kind of crazy company would hold an employee back and not use them to their fullest potential just because they were not a favorite or chosen? Would it not make sense for exxon to use the talents of its employees to their fullest potential? This is the true evil of exxon and the dysfunction. The ranking system is fixed and hardworking talented employees are destroyed and piped every year. Exxon is not a good place to work and is detrimental to your health. Escape if you can before you are in to deep and ruined.

Since he wants to sc--w Americans out of jobs and keep laying off with false performance, stop helping set them up for success. Do not put your notes out there, do not share them, do not update procedures with all steps. Quit doing it! Let this pr--k and all the mini pricks below helping to ruin everyones lives, get what they deserve. A team full of id--ts who cannot fight their way out of an open paper bag

Market cap shrinking. Betrayl of its employees. Outdated energy eating products. Get out folks

Steve On The Spot returns from the World Cup after another successful display of cameras, travel, and self-promotion. Hopefully, the next appearance brings a little more leadership and a little less performance, especially as employees face the uncertainty of possible layoffs.

What do you think is going to happen?

With a company that is so anti employee, with literally NO regard for tenure, loyalty, performance...should we expect any transparency at all?

Managers are complicit basically just trying to assure their salary continues.

Does Dell need to be investigated for violations in their termination process?

Lots of discussion on here about the EVP of
HR. Perhaps Mark made another bad hire?! Talk about a poor selector of talent.

Verizon is now more valuable than us as of today. Tragic news. Oh well.

Make John Saw responsible for both Core Network and IT and it fails. Typical. Most overrated person in the mobile space ever.

Got my separation date - Nov 12 2027. This is ridiculous. I'm in UM concurrent review, and I'm so sick of this company constantly devaluing our work. We're expected to do 2.16 cases per hour, but somehow we're also supposed to attend meetings, trainings, and everything else without the metric changing.

How is that reasonable? I can't sit through a one-hour meeting and still complete 2.16 cases per hour. I'm one person. Leadership created impossible expectations and punish us for not meeting them.

I asked someone at the sc aquarium if their blackbaud payment software works well and he said it breaks when they need it most.

Make sure to keep working hard though. Do good. More like do bad worse.

All to line the pockets of Mike G.

She came off as a complete mo--n at the all-hands this morning. WTF is she tasked with?

No surprise that reports are wrong, nothing new, this place has been dealing with that for years. Systems don't work, are not examined for the root cause of bad data and reports. More micromanagement but wait....now so many of us are on a correction action plan as a result and everyone is miserable.

This is what lack of leadership looks like, don't dig in and find out what is wrong and then communicate/educate. Instead just assume we are lazy id--ts and let the punishments begin. And they wonder why morale is in the trash.

Every new manager we get seems less qualified than the last. It's like they're hiring for incompetence.

Why would anyone in that group still give their all?

I've watched so many experienced people leave this place in the last year. The replacements don't know the job and don't seem to want to learn. Meanwhile, management acts like the veterans are the problem. We're the ones carrying the weight, but we're the ones being blamed. It's exhausting.

I had a customer screaming at me over something that wasn't my error. My supervisor heard the whole thing, knew the customer was wrong, and still threw me under the bus to save face. He apologized to the customer for my confusion, then he pulled me aside and told me to just let it go with a lecture about customer experience. I hate it here.

In the last 15+ years, we've had two incompetent CEOs, countless reorgs, several acquisitions where we bought for premium prices and sold for cheap, and a complete erosion of culture. I think the rot is so deep at this point that any new leadership would need a miracle, not a strategy to fix this mess.

When do we really need to fix the leadershit at this shitTel place to save employee layoffs ?

I am really tired and sick of this

Okay gang. Which group is being run into the ground? Which should we stay far away from? Initals, dept and why. Go

It really stings that it was immediately following the earnings call where all the top brass was smiling and sharing vacation plans

The mess we're in is because of incompetent leaders. They got their positions through connections, not skill. And it shows.

IBM will silently laying people off after the stock crash... From what I've seen, this is how they do it:

They suddenly label people as "low performers" (making up stories if they have to) and try to push them into quitting.

They put people on PIPs (1–3 month Performance Improvement Plans) and then fire them. The goal seems to be avoiding severance.

They make your work life miserable until you leave on your own.

If you're thinking about joining IBM, I'd honestly look somewhere else. In my experience, the company doesn't have many interesting projects anymore, and management is pretty bad. Most managers have no clue how to lead or manage teams.

Just my opinion based on what I've seen in this company over the years.

There's no reward for hard work at Oracle anymore. The raises are terrible, nobody gets recognized, whether you're the best or just getting by, it's all the same. So I keep asking myself why I should even try. The answer I keep coming back to is that I probably shouldn't. Just do what's required and move on. It's not worth the stress.
