It all started with affirmative action....and through today the company is scared $#itless of LGBT social deviants! The fear was in all telco'...wanted to make nice with PSC to ensure rate and tariff increases!
you Must Be talking about Christine Groth team...
ATO is a very veonous, toxic place. There's a lot of racism, anti-Semitism, Islamaphobia, homophobia, etc. A gay friend of mine hears homophobic comments everyday from management and co-workers.
The ATO management knows literally nothing about technology. Our group used to work with ATS on Unix servers and people knew literally nothing about Unix. I don't think the management even knows what Unix is.
It's really, really bad. But as long as you're white, ultra-Conservative, don't ask questions, and live in Atlanta or Seattle, you're getting promoted.
The Peter Principle is in full affect in the ATO organization. We have senior technical directors leading the charge who know nothing about about operations and what makes it worse insult their employees making statements as:
-
Their employees are like children
-
Their job is to keep everyones noses right above the water
-
Making stupid borderline anti Semitic and racist jokes in group meetings
-
Takinf credit for other people's work
-
Throwing their employees y see the bus when ever they get a chance
-
Lie and cheat their way to the top
And the list goes on
This will not last long. These jerks will be out soon, I hope and they are a proof that managers are endangered species in an agile world
Going to sum it up in two words "Peter Principal" Most of these managers have been promoted and reached their level of incompetence long ago. They have absolutely no clue how the daily operations work. Yes they are running scared. The PuppetMaster is coming in 2016 and he will be cutting lots of strings. Happy New Year! to all the dedicated real workers that pull this company together.
Leadership talks, and I read the news about their 4 year plan, what make you think they will be there in 2 years, they are quick to abandon ship, and rip the benefits of downsizing, layong off employees, with huge bonus payouts, soon after they take other jobs and the ruse continues...
