Thread regarding Five9 Inc. layoffs

Feedback on P. Di-kerson's Management Style

If leadership is reading this, I encourage you to take an honest look at P. Di-kerson's track record since she joined. Consider the number of people who have left the team, the overall level of dissatisfaction, and the noticeable decline in morale.

I would challenge leadership to run a truly anonymous team survey. I believe the results would highlight concerns that many people are currently reluctant to raise openly.

Her management style creates an environment of fear rather than trust. Public criticism is common, feedback is often delivered in front of others, and people become more focused on avoiding blame than on doing their best work. Instead of encouraging ownership and collaboration, it drives people to protect themselves.

There is also very little visible self-reflection or willingness to acknowledge when her own approach may be contributing to problems. Accountability appears to be expected from everyone else, but rarely from herself.

I hope leadership takes these concerns seriously, as I believe the current environment is having a significant negative impact on employee wellbeing, engagement, and retention.

I mean its clear this VP appears to treat a toxic work environment as a badge of honor, almost wearing it with pride. Her decision-making is consistently poor, particularly when it comes to technology choices. On top of that, IaaS chips away at our credibility with customers nearly every week thanks to another major outage. It's hard to understand how leadership keeps finding excuses for someone who's clearly so damaging to both the company and morale. People please bring this up to your leadership , the more people that bring this up the less they're able to ignore it.

I worked with this lady at Visa. This is pretty much spot on. She tried to come back to Visa after her "sabbatical". Thankfully higher ups decided otherwise.

Five9 is not a proactive company. It’s a reactive company. She will get ousted if and only if Five9 takes a serious and costly faceplant, nothing less.

Respect lost takes an extraordinary amount of contrition to regain, a feat extreme narcissists are unlikely to achieve

she is worst vp i have ever seen, HR has to look and count how many left five9 after she took over the vp role.If they are smart enough they would have let her go by now. HR is deaf as well.

I would agree. She's a bad leader. Sprint, don't run from her.

She’s simply the worst… The only thing she’s accomplished is creating an exceptional culture of fear and stagnation.

I wrote this review for GD...

One VP is fostering a culture focused on compliance rather than collaboration and open discussion. As a result, team members are reluctant to challenge decisions based on outdated information or incorrect assumptions, which weakens trust and reduces the likelihood of honest feedback.

Meetings and scrums are often discouraging, with employees sometimes receiving criticism in a condescending tone that lowers morale and creates a less supportive work environment. This approach leads employees to expect criticism rather than guidance and encourages them to avoid attention rather than focus on their work.
