How did we go from 2.0 to 2.3 and what is 2.3 supposed to mean?

What we are witnessing is Ericson 2.0, straight out of Hans playbook. Go back and see what he did to Ericson, he's doing the same to us, they finally kicked his crooked a-s out when the stock tanked to $6 a share, looks like we're headed for the... — read more

Seriously, as an employee and a shareholder how do we conduct a vote of no confidence for Hans and other VCG leaders? Clearly we can’t continue the course we’re on with our poor 3rd QTR results. Wall Street keeps telling us there’s a cancer in our... — read more 

Long Overdue. If the Board tolerates this performance, they should be held accountable by shareholders also.

Yep, we are lucky if 10 percent of our new hires make it to 6 months, most are gone by the 3rd month, mostball say the money is not worth the stress from customers and the stupid metrics. I generally agree with a person who wrote this (post ID... — read more 

Correlation or causation. You decide. Question #2. If you could draft one leader from the past to right the ship, who would you select? Lowell, Stratton, Killian, Strigl, Mead, Ivan? Others?

I would like to see my boss meet the same expectations he expects from us, considering that he thinks that these are not unrealistic expectations at all, but that we are not doing our best. I would like to see him try and wonder if he would manage... — read more

Reminder that pulse isn’t anonymous, despite what you are told. If you want to send a message, don’t do it. Leaders hate hate.

A buddy from a different group said his team had a meeting yesterday and their manager mentioned his team would not be affected by upcoming RIFs. My team was not given any such direction, gulp.
