Lowell got rid of everybody around here that knew anything he just wanted a bunch of yes men and hatchet men. You could see this coming a mile away when the management catch phrase became" I don't need to know your job to be your manager."They should just find everybody from Massachusetts that is still here in a position of power and ask them "how did you get your job here" ? There is definitely still a serious amount of nepotism around here that is leading to a lot of stagnation.

How much control your leader has when it comes to Rif?
I want to understand how much control a Sr director or above has when it comes to saving their favorites over people who actually work?
I know atleast 5 people in my org who got hired because they are related to so and so leader in one way or another. You can tell how bad they are at their work.
They could not even get hired based on their own capabilities.
NYP-Finally Corwin is Stepping Down
Hopefully this is for the best as I have seen first hand that they are laying off people with years of service to keep their family members hired. Human resources really needs to be investigated for hiding the truth with NDA's and not letting people speak.

What is going on at Appian?
The CRO is hiring all his buddies from his former company and firing or pushing out the tenured RVPs and AEs. The GC mysteriously decides to retire. The weird announcement about MM. Should we all be concerned?? What's the story with TG leaving after 9 years at Appian. Who is taking over the west?
Nepotism at its finest. While we lay off experienced individuals.
The Director/Manager's daughter got hired on making 65K+ as a Business Analyst with a Bachelors Degree in Fashion and no prior health care experience. When normal people don't get looked at unless you have at least 1+ of health care experience. But if you have the right last name and NO experience you can just be handed a job. NO need to work for it.
Is IT still full of TCS, infosys shadiness?
More cousins and wives? Recruited
Oracle laid off lots of managers -is Cisco going to do the same?

And then this is saying that for example in Zurich it was mostly managers https://www.linkedin.com/posts/robin-wiethuchter_oracle-fired-most-of-its-managers-and-some-activity-7376369071761752064-npyv
Not sure about other teams but we were recently presented some Digital Delivery s..it that required us to update our own task lists and workload At the same time we were all asked to fill up a skills matrix that AI will use to automatically find people that could work on projects. In his naivity our managers told us that this will, in a first stage go through manual approval. What he missed was that it will require probably 10% of the current number of managers for the same job. This will also curb nepotism, we have people in our team who are favored by managers, they clearly get work above their skills to help them progress and then othe rear licking employees are asked to watch o er and to save their managers' protégé when they can't handle the work assigned to them.
Another round in 18-24 months - never ending!!!!!!!
Heard this from the HR slaves and also people close to functional leadership - there is another round coming within 18-24 months to further reduce “fat” - wow. Better luck next time jumping off this sinking ship of utter gloom and doom. The leadership and managers remaining are all nepo lovers and love the brown nosing incompetent “friends”. More with less. Woohoo!
Cybersecurity is a joke
Cybersecurity being ran by the most incompetent non cyber people ever. Staples really forgot they’re supposed to protect the network, not promote their friends.
Spouses on same team ? Lay off or no?
How is the ethically allowed to have two leadership positions on same team occupied by a husband and wife team? Is this even allowed who would permit this?
Watch! Do what USAA did.
UTSA, it's time for a shakeup. Eighmy take heed. Your top execs are fear based leaders who hire "their own" and their family. Start with your BA division. It's HORRIBLE!
Lets Look At The Leaders In HSE and ETC
I really mean this folks. Look at our HSE LT. Look at the ETC LT. Can this be more of a joke? We have no professionals left. We have no one that has any substantive amount of time in the field. We just have nepotism, DEI and C-Suite best friends that can't do anything else. There used to be a time where the pedigree meant something. Not anymore. As another poster said, just look at our SIFs. Embarrassing!
The Facts Present Themselves in GB
If you take out the emotion of what the Global Brand leadership is doing, you are left with incompetent people that know nothing about financial services, managing teams in a large corporation and treating their people fairly. These are the facts. It’s quite obvious all of them are in it for themselves. All have worked 3 or less years at a job and continue to fake it to make it. They let amazing talent walk out the door to only bring in their circle of friends and family, no knowledge of our business and continue to have the actual doers train them and then treat us like pions. It’s time for positive change!! How is this allowed??
Imagine what HCSC would be like
If only HCSC cracked down on nepotism and favoritism the way they are cracking down on RTO and the ridiculous 3 days average in the office.
Conflict of interest?
Serious question — what’s the point of keeping husband-and-wife combos in the same department or even the same company? It always turns messy. Conflicts of interest, favouritism, gossip, and when it goes sour (and it usually does), everyone else has to pick up the fallout.
Plenty of qualified people out there looking for a chance, but instead we’ve got couples playing house on the company dime. Is it really worth the drama?
The New LT rule of 3
- America first - Shipment of jobs to the CEO's and CFO's is a conflict of interest.
- Eliminate the prior regime's dross - The use of consultants at Waters has wreaked havoc.
- Use qualified ppl. for leader roles - Rewarding the LT's cronies has NOT worked out well.
I'm watching the dumpster fire with me popcorn.
The Canadian Network that isn't an entertainment company!
Both ELT and now SLT appear focused on hiring primarily through Rogers Communications’ network of associates - aka, friends.
Simply reshaping the organizational structure will not drive real change that's needed. The company is not functioning as a truly international business, but rather as one directed by individuals whose decisions risk undermining its future while their personal connections receive disproportionate advancement.
Sectarianism which bought down Intel is here
Worked in intel in the early 2010s and I get to see the same thing here in QCOM now. Hiring friends of friends ; friends son. Not sharing information, misleading on purpose.
As in intel , the people who did such practices made it out unscathed.
You do not need to be talented, just need to be rich. #Feudalism, #Nepotism...
RIP American Dream
If you jumped from being an IT Engineer in Sandisk to an IT Director in Seagate, of course you’d find it better.
Examplory Intel 😊 like the old Indian female IT director who had done 13 misconducts (reported against her) .. protected by GM all this time and today promoted to work for IT CTO.
Thirteen hardworking employees who braved it to report her misconducts to senior management. All 13 were stuupid to do so.
Who is cleaning up Intel when cleaners have created most dirt in Intel ?
Not many people want to work at Cisco. It's not s-xy, nor is it part of the attractive larger companies (Amazon, FB, Google, Netflix, Apple). Even the big telcos (Verizon/ATT) have better focus on delivering software based applications. Not many people looking to keep their skills current think, "I can't wait to build the next router!" And Cisco is still trying to figure out SDN, as they've made TWO acquisitions in this space: Embrane and then Viptela. (Notice that both of those companies were led by former employees from Cisco. #Nepotism.
Retention RSUs
How these get doled out is absurd. I'm in a BU that is about to be shut down and retention RSUs are being handed out. They're going to people "in the know" like middle managers and Project Managers and such but none of the engineers that are actually required to keep the product going are getting them. 100% of the women are getting them for fear of lawsuits (one just returned last week from 6wks of maternity leave). #Nepotism
Yes because Lord Trump hires so many white males to make his f---ing sweaters.....look into his hiring practices. If you spawned from his seed then you may get hired as a white male #Nepotism
Really? #Nepotism is only one problem here - how about managers who cannot and do not want to manage...
This is a shit company to work for, Nepotism rules. Bunch of incompetent people always making the wrong decisions.
Not sure about Microsoft Layoffs in 2016 but here is my complaint
I joined Microsoft about a year ago and I can tell you that I've been noticing super high level of office politics - judging on what happened over last 12 months and few years prior there are way too many reorganizations, things are being shuffled left and right without too much reason. Sometimes layoffs follow and I am sure Microsoft will have layoffs in 2016 again... As for the reorgs, one of my peers has been around for about six years and she had 11 different managers during that time - you go and try to figure that... Finally, #nepotism - I always hated it and we have a few cases of that...
Not really, but my old employer (small company, less than $100M in revenue) was a cesspool of #nepotism - it really messes up the culture, there is no leveled playing field and people do favors for each other based on family relationships
