Do a pulse survey and all-hands. People are stressed, divided, and worn out. Sale, cuts—too much limbo. Those with bad leaders, worse.

I agree—the delivery and questions reflected a lack of experience and depth. Unfortunately, those who could truly lead and drive solutions are often stuck focusing on jargon now than meaningful progress.
Data management is critical, yet leadership two layers deep lacks experience in product, data, or technology. That raises concerns about whether the importance of these areas is fully understood. The roadmap, for example, felt oversimplified and missed key details needed to assess impact and effort.
DK asked some questions but made a few questionable statements. And the “Let’s do everything” approach while continuing to overlook technical debt isn’t a real strategy—it’s the status quo. There’s so much talent within the organization outside of the cliche leaders running it, but without the right leadership to partner, prioritize, and build meaningful solutions, it’s a challenge to move forward effectively.
So true. DK was really trying to bring “some value” by asking interesting questions but also making some d-mb statements. He’s an easy read.
“Let’s do everything” and continue putting off technical debt is not a new strategy at CCI. They need to find people in product that actually know how to partner, prioritize, and develop meaningful products. The level of inept from that part of the organization is at a clear all time high.
What if your VP is round?
Say what you want, but after everything and all the posts and comments being REMOVED —DBS finally had a call. Some parts were good, some were tonedeaf, but at least it’s something. A consultant leader, with questions form her go to consultant in hiding flopped filled with empty consultant words with no value so next time consultant bingo is on, the rest was solid. Agreed, this is the page, but there’s no other safe space to say it and they are reading.
If you will leave, get your recommendation letters from people now. CCI has a policy that no one can give you a recommendation letter once you are terminated from CCI.
Yeah send it to your leader or EMT and be the top of the RIF list. Great Advice.
OP send a message to your EMT leader, not here!
You know this isn't a crown website right? Who are you telling to do this?!?
Use this time to update resume while you still have access to CC systems. If you are still here I recommend working on resume during work hours to max productivity. ;)
It’s time.
Good leader good team.
Bad leader bad team.
VP strong, team strong.
VP weak, team falls apart.
Not hard.
First RIF?
