Recent Marketing Update was shocking in what it revealed.
Jamie Moldafsky admitted that, yeah, we probably shouldn't have released a reestablished ad campaign so quickly and indicated that WF was OK when it wasn't (and, clearly, still isn't). SERIOUSLY??? Every team member was screaming when you rolled out your nightmare "vision" for the ad campaign – doubling down on the LIES. You call yourself a LEADER??? (Moldafsky has to go! Totally incompetent.. not just for this, but for massive "holistic marketing process" cluster, etc.)
But it gets worse...
Amid all the Marketing execs lightheartedly chuckling among themselves throughout the discussion, innovation was brought up. They all agreed we need to do things differently. UH, YEAH.
Then Gary Korotzer (Brand) asks if anyone on the Marketing team knows anyone who's come on board from a competitor. He asked us to email Gary their names so we can tap into their knowledge of how they did things at their former company. WHAT??????
THIS IS YOUR BIG IDEA????
What have you execs been DOING all this time, while you are drawing massive paychecks/bonuses???? O M G !!!
My colleagues and I are SO embarrassed by this company's lack of leadership.
Their solution is to copy/recycle ideas from team members from other financial services companies who were dumb enough to join WF??? THAT is your plan for INNOVATION??? Because you can't think of anything on your own? Can't reach out to colleagues OUTSIDE finserv industry? Why are you getting PAID obscene amounts of $$$???
It is painfully clear we have no leadership. That discussion was the final nail in the idiocy coffin for so many Marketing team members.
G*d help us all.
