Couldn’t have said it better. We’re supposed to smile through 1.5% raises while execs treat this place like their personal ATM and social club. Promotions are extinct. Recognition is a joke. And we get HR sermons about “total compensation” like we’re too d-mb to notice the blatant wealth siphoning going on above our heads.
Meanwhile, these overpaid tourists parachute in from JPM and immediately start LARPing as experts. Fake credentials, fake confidence, real damage. They hire their clueless friends to do nothing and offload the actual work onto the people they’re quietly trying to push out. It’s a full-on corporate cosplay.
And don’t even get me started on the leadership “retreats” — Cabo, wine tours, luxury hotels, all billed as “strategy sessions” while the rest of us ration PTO and get ghosted on internal transfers. It’s offensive how open the corruption is. No shame, no accountability, just empty suits congratulating each other while the place burns.
If this isn’t late-stage corporate rot, I don’t know what is. Keep calling it out — people need to see how deep the dysfunction runs.
