Anyone else exhausted by the endless LinkedIn parade of “So excited!” “So refreshed!” “Feeling energized about the future!”?
At this point, it’s almost comical. Same tired narrative. Same recycled buzzwords. Same leadership speeches. Different day.
Dear B and the entire chorus of executives who seem to love hearing themselves talk:
For the love of God, stop talking and START DOING.
Employees are tired of broken promises, broken systems, and being told brighter days are ahead while watching money pour into AI initiatives designed to reduce the very workforce that built the company. And real talk every cost saving measure you try well hmmm hasn’t worked yet.
How many years does it take to figure this out?
You refinanced the debt. Congratulations. But refinancing debt isn't fixing a business. Where's the innovation? Where's the growth? Where's the strategy that actually sets you apart?
Instead, it's the same playbook. Watch what Aya does. Watch what AMN does. Copy, paste, repackage, and call it visionary leadership.
That's not innovation. That's imitation with a fancy title.
Meanwhile, executives are traveling, attending conferences, posting about how inspired and invigorated they feel, and celebrating their latest leadership revelations.
How wonderful for them.
But what about the people doing the actual work? The people trying to sell a product, navigate broken systems, retain relationships, and keep the business moving while leadership continues to confuse motivational speeches with measurable results?
Here's the uncomfortable truth: A title doesn't make you valuable. Results do.
And when the dust settles, the same executives preaching loyalty and resilience will polish their résumés, leverage those impressive titles, and move on to their next opportunity. Another company. Another transformation. Another chance to dismantle what someone else worked years to build.
At its core, staffing is a sales business. You have to sell your service, your people, your relationships, and your value.
And frankly, if the company is struggling, maybe it's time to ask why the people at the top aren't successfully selling any of it.
Employees aren't asking for another inspirational LinkedIn post. They're asking for competent leadership, functional systems, meaningful investment in people, and a strategy that produces something other than another round of applause in the boardroom.
Talk is cheap. Apparently, so is the value placed on the people who built Medical Solutions.
And to the employees still holding everything together: don't confuse loyalty to your coworkers with an obligation to remain loyal to leadership that hasn't earned it.
Because when the ship starts sinking, don't assume the people telling you to keep rowing are planning to stay aboard. How many have sailed off already???
