Anyone going to ask the new CEO about cost of living increases or our substandard benefits or future RIFs*?
Morale is hecka low at my site and if this forum is to be believed elsewhere in the company. We're losing talented staff because of these policies and behaviors of the executives. It's not good at all.
@kb That’s actually not true. Ed Zoiss has been part of executive management for the past 10+ years. His “leadership” has earned a net worth of ~25 million dollars. Ask him anything…..
Nearly the entire executive team and board are new, as well as most in senior leadership. How do they know what's going on?
@g3 Most people are nervous, burnt out, and pi---d the frig off. We’ve lost so many people with actual AUV knowledge and experience that it’s getting ridiculous. The people who are left are either waiting for the axe to fall, planning their exit, or polishing up their résumés—because apparently that’s the career development plan now.
Meanwhile, the top dogs are overpaid for mismanagement, while the little people scrape by, pick up the slack, and somehow get expected to do more with fewer people and less experience. But hey, I’m sure everything is totally fine.
We’re bleeding people who actually know what they’re doing, morale is in the toilet, and everyone can see where this is headed. You can’t keep running on fumes and pretending everything is business as usual.
And as for the SM telling us to “ask him anything”—why the he-l do we have to ask? These are issues leadership should already be addressing. We shouldn’t have to drag information out of management or play 20 Questions just to get basic answers about what’s happening, why we’re losing people, and WHAT THE PLAN ISTransparency shouldn’t be something employees have to beg for. By the way, based on past experiences they do not like direct questions.
Honestly, does anybody really believe these questions are anonymous? They may say they’re anonymous, but I think what they really mean is that they won’t reveal the name of the person who submitted it to the meeting attendees.
My question: does anybody really think SM actually cares to hear what you have to say? Unless someone has been in space for the past four years—or has been completely disconnected from what’s actually happening—it seems pretty obvious that they should already know what people are thinking and what the concerns are. The fact that they have to ask people to “Ask Me Anything” makes it look like they are even more clueless than they appear.
Is it true Falls River will be shut down?
When is the next layoff?
@bd We all deserve a workplace where merit and fair play are the standards, not the exception. Unfortunately, recent trends suggest we are falling short of those values. We are witnessing a pattern of layoffs that seems to target our older colleagues, alongside troubling evidence that discretionary paid time off is being approved based on race rather than policy.
Have you ever cheated on your wife?
If not, I would advice you not to ride on the corporate jet.. it has a tendency to remove Harris/L3H CEOs.
Is your KIA more reliable than our executive leadership team?
Gaslighting is a form of psychological and emotional abuse where one person uses steady manipulation to make another person doubt their memory, perception, or sanity.
Somebody ask about ageism and how many people over 45 have been laid off in the last year. I bet you’ll never get a straight answer on that one.
Let me save you the trouble. "We're in-line with industry standards" and "No RIFs are planned at this time"
