With so many of us fearing layoff- why do we have so many of these agile people?

I hear creepy Ritesh is leaving. Praise …
CMO’s and VP’s need to shadow Sr product managers!! What they hear vs what we do is two different things.
In this case- wouldn’t firing that loose canon protect their brand by getting rid of the risk this person is?
To those that run to HR its good that you followed a protocol just to say you did but make no mistake....HR is hired by Humana to protect Humanas interest not yours. Don't be confused by that. You will never win if that is your only plan of action. It's a sad reality but very real.
My post was deleted- so I’ll post it again. I don’t appreciate censorship:
Fine- no initials or specifics. I’ll talk about my own self…..
I quit my job on Monday. I was an Agile Coach for Digital Platforms. I’m sure most people can imagine why I would have done that. During my first week, someone told me “you’ll be lucky if you last 6 months having the manager you have”. I lasted two months. Hahaha I was that miserable. People at Humana know the specifics- ask around or connect with me on LinkedIn and I’ll tell you all about it. Long story short- I have a limited ability to be mistreated and an even more limited ability to sit back and watch other people be mistreated. I asked for the behaviors to stop. I then became the next target. I decided no pay check is worth dealing with this. Then I took evidence of it to HR. Now I am out on a golf course on the sunshine decompressing and hoping my eye stops twitching from this woman.
To the poster below who asked the question: I was a contractor- which changes how I went about it. I took all my evidence to the HR Ethics tip line people. After I quit on Monday- I sent the evidence to people who are actual employees and are still there who were affected by the unethical behavior. I gave them the screen shots (also gave them to the ethics ppl) and they are all about to file HR complaints as well. This woman’s HR infractions are adding up. In one of my 1:1 with her she told me all about some HR investigation she is in- and said “I don’t care. People hate me. So what”. Well- the complaints are adding up A.P.
To the poster who went to HR, did they help you or work to protect the company? I have been building a case against my leader which will ultimately likely go to CMS vs HR because I have never known HR to help anyone.
The Agile Leader we are all talking about: OYE! I’ll stop there.
same repeated cycle every 10 months: take old plan, change minor things and call it a whole new plan, run into same issues as last ineffective version, blame teams for not understanding, exhaust people who stayed by getting them to carry incompetent people, change workflows 4x in 4 months then scold people for complaining. Rinse. Repeat.
Agile people= skilled at cartwheels, knee bends, back flips and not questioning leadership!
The "agile" people are agreeable nimwits with no real skillset to be marketable for a new job. The only "agile" move they make is bending over backwards to please the masters.
Define “Agile People”
It's not that the people cannot implement it, it's that management hasn't boughten into it. You can't push a rope. Good luck Humana, glad I left!
It's a great question, considering that the agile people can't even implement it correctly in the first place
