A good list

Mine has 50% of these traits at BNYM, Indian too.

My mgr described here

Can't spell

Mine too.

Maybe BNY with 23 traits of the worst company sets up people to have 23 traits of a bad manager so the manager will get the blame and let the company off the hook.

So we stay here working for the bad company, and blame the manager.

Those who can leave, will.

Those who cannot, will stay, suffer, complain, and blame their manager.

Yeah, this is my manager...

Sorry but some of us have no time To address those 23 issues these days.

When they appointed me to be a manager (no choice) they told me I would keep my old title and job, and let the new group manage itself.

How about the 23 traits of a really bad company?

Yes, I am looking for another job.
