#badleadership

Many senior employees in chandler doing the badge and leave in Arizona with zero consequences. Intel can’t figure this sh-t out

The day after massive layoffs TK posts pics of her family smiling and having fun and taking time to recharge. How nice while the rest of us are struggling and some of us lost our jobs. Want to know why people hate the WF execs? This is why.

This rests at your feet.
Kept hiring from the Boyz club for CEO and here you are.
Pathetic.
Not surprising.

Well it’s official Lumen has fallen for the contractor vs employee trap. It won’t be long until all CO and Gateways are completely unusable. They leave trash, remove fibers and just otherwise do not care. This is a bad idea.

The amount of people in a management position without the slightest idea of what being a manager means is incredible. Directors that continue to belittle and undermine their managers and direct reports, creates a toxic environment that manager then replicate on thier own teams. I have never seen so many people paid to literally do nothing. Managers spend more time in their cars running errands while attending calls that actual doing the jobs they are paid to

All the smart people are gone. Just underachievers and people riding out retirement left.

It's the leadership. It's always been the leadership.

Look at recent performance and it's obvious. Absolutely poor leaders who only speak in PowerPoint prose and can't think beyond a bullet point. Leaders who go above and beyond to keep themselves apart from their "subjects."

DTC wasn't a bad idea. The execution was a sh-tshow. Inept supply chain. Cr-ppy tech. Marketing leadership that thinks we're a fashion company. Innovation that does... actually, not sure what Innovation does anymore. Poor people management. Lack of transparency.. look at the fact that we bury. annual survey results when they are unfavorable. Internal transfers are rarely fair. Finance/procurment.. enough said. Smh

And it all flows from the layers at the top. If EH wasn't good enough to be CEO when JD was appointed, what made him better a few years later? Same for our CMO .. did her experience really grow that much from “co-founding a minority-owned agency”. Our supply chain was so great we gave VA a bigger remit, lol… Can’t make this stuff up.

You can't cut and outsource your way to growth.

We need new leadership.

We have got managers who should not be managing anyone, goals that are completely detached from reality, and zero training to help anyone succeed. Bullies run wild because nobody bothers to fire them anymore, bare minimum is the standard, and asking for pay that actually covers your bills somehow makes you the bad guy. They talk about integrity and flexibility but it is all empty words because neither shows up when you actually need it.

Some workplaces say they want honesty.

They don’t. They want compliance.

The moment you question dysfunction, challenge bad leadership, or point out what everyone else is quietly seeing, you become “difficult.”

That is how toxic cultures protect themselves.

They make integrity look like insubordination.

If you are trying to stay honest in that kind of environment, you need more than good intentions.

You need strategy.

A few things I’ve learned during my career:

1/ Document patterns, not feelings.
One bad meeting can be dismissed. A pattern is harder to ignore.

2/ Ask questions before making statements.
“What outcome are we solving for?” lands better than “This makes no sense.”

3/ Keep your tone boring.
If they can make the conversation about your reaction, they will avoid the issue.

4/ Talk about the work, not the person.
Focus on process, deadlines, expectations, and decisions. Keep ego out of it.

5/ Know who is safe.
Not everyone who agrees with you privately will stand with you publicly.

6/ Know when the culture is the answer.
Some places are not broken. They are operating exactly how leadership allows them to operate.

Integrity still matters. But in the wrong room, it needs strategy.

Have you ever worked somewhere where telling the truth made you the problem?

Our manager has been AWOL for over 4 months. Even when he used to show up, he would say nothing. Soooo, most of us are just badging in, checking a few messages, and leaving early while collecting a paycheck.

Ask me if I care. If worthless Dell managers don't care about us, why should we care about Dell? We don't. This company is a joke!

I'm serious, if you can find a job anywhere else, do it. At NCR, being good at your job makes you a threat. Everybody will see you as competition, and any chance of advancement will vanish. You'll end up working for someone who, in any sane organization, would be your assistant. It's a system designed to crush ambition.

​In corporate settings, toxic behavior rarely stems from ignorance. Adults in leadership positions know when they are micro-managing, publicly correcting, dismissing input, or shifting goalposts.

​Organizations often grant "grace" downward, expecting employees to absorb poor managerial behavior under the guise of "leadership style" or "stress," while treating an employee's emotional reaction or boundary as a performance issue. This asymmetric tolerance erodes psychological safety and corrupts institutional security.

​When bad behavior is ignored at the leadership level, it signals professional accountability and workforce engagement practices are optional for the powerful.

The C-suite/upper management obviously hasn't cared about their employees for many years. One would think they should care, at least a little bit, about work actually getting done so their departments can be profitable.

Nope, those parasites only care about their own image, personal petty grievances, and control over their employees. They are more than happy to fire the best people rather than own up to the problems they created. I guess in their cynical minds it's better to quell any resistance and come out on top, even if just for one quarter before their pathetic decisions catch up to them.

There's no point in loyalty to this company. They don't plan on returning it. Work your shift, have your coworkers back, and don't give Canon a moment extra of your time or effort.

Dst spent millions of dollars defending their Cundiff retirement fund mistake. Then still had to pay 125 million in damages. Not an employee friendly company

I could not find MyComputerCareer in the Layoff website, but it should be. This company experienced regular layoffs, almost as if they were on a 2-3 year schedule. They have these values that are not upheld, love, ethics, excellence, customer first. They are a typical predatory institutiton that the DOE, DOL and DOJ should look into.

If you are not outstanding or excellent then did you know you are not considered regretted attrition when you quit? They do not care about or invest in anyone who is not sponsored. If you are outstanding or excellent now and have no sponsor just know it will not last. Also what happens when your sponsor leaves? Look around and learn. There is no future here. It is not a meritocracy.

Biggest bunch of Muppets I have ever dealth with

Destroyed morale, productivity down all cus they can't just execute a fricking plan regarding layoffs

Worse company EVER

A bunch of buddies who were politically selected walking around campus pretending they own the company in Belgrade and laughing and walking around all day protecting each other and posting pictures on LinkedIn where each sends a like to one another within 5 minutes. Typical drzavna frima behavior, where the general manager has yet to speak with his employees on the floor .. and not to mention the HR Director that has no clue what she is doing, because basically she is doing what she is told lol, but as everyone can see they cant raise food allowance for employees for 10 dollars in 10 years, but what they can do is post pictures how they are going out to diner with very important people ...

Fear tactics, low morale, revolving door, broken trust... All of which BNY leadership has hit, and then some. We need a completely new leadership if things are ever going to improve.

They care about their own paychecks. And they're very good at it.

Poor decisions, no talent, no accountability, pretty much every day is a disaster. Layoffs are just the end result.

Companies will spend thousands replacing a great employee before spending one honest hour addressing a bad manager.

That is the part most leaders do not want to look at.

Toxic managers usually do not destroy a company overnight.

They do it slowly.

One resignation at a time.
One burned-out employee at a time.
One checked-out team at a time.

Gallup has found that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement.

That should make every leadership team uncomfortable.

But bad managers still get protected because:

↳ They’ve been here forever.
↳ They hit their numbers.
↳ That’s just how they are.

Meanwhile, good employees quietly start taking recruiter calls.

Here’s what toxic managers cost the organization:

1. Employees stop taking initiative because fear replaces clarity.
2. Trust disappears because control gets mistaken for leadership.
3. Good people start doubting themselves.
4. Politics become safer than performance.
5. Burnout becomes normal.
6. Credit goes up and blame rolls down.
7. Your best people leave first because they have options.

The resignation letter usually will not say “toxic boss.”

But the empty desk will.

Re: Today is your last day as my employer.

You have underperformed and not met expectations. All of the promises you made to lure me to this role, were never kept.

Normally I would give you a 14-day PIP (2 weeks’ notice) before canning you, but you are not worthy, and I am ending your opportunity to employ me effective immediately.

In the middle of reading this note, I have blocked you from all ways of communicating with me. If you have any questions, please submit them to my portal, which I will never look at.

Please return anything of value you have received from my employ or I will have to send you threatening legal notes that I have no intent to pursue. Just to cause you more anxiety than I already have.

I will also send you automated messages in the middle of the night reminding you of how unwanted and unproductive you are, and to sign my correspondence or you will lose the chance to.

If you play your cards rights, I may give you a good reference, to help you take advantage of and sc--w over other employees, but you know I really have no intention of doing so. I just tell you that to make you think I care. You know I don’t.

Signed,

How Does It Feel.

That's our sad reality.

All that remains to be seen is how many of her flying monkeys will remain and if there is anything left to be salvaged at Paradigm after the last disaster of a year.

and she is firing people again. Is not insane!
IT IS DIABOLICAL!!!! IS A DEMON!

It's losing its reason. It used to be a way of life, then a career, then a job. Now it's just an insecure paycheck. The current management seems focused on running it into the ground, and nobody's fighting to save it. Watching a once-great company circle the drain is brutal.

I remember when AT&T meant quality, not layoffs and bad news. Miss those days.

Will MW be man enough to discuss the dysfunction and terrible morale he's caused at Chevron?

LC is absolutely the worst CIO imaginable. A sack of trash would do a better job. Who ever hired him should be fired as they are terrible leaders for getting such a bad leader. We all know its MW and he's terrible himself.

Just received invite for Thu Aug 27.

I can’t listen to this drivel anymore, but for those that do join please insure you are recording.

One of these days the narcissistic baldy will say something that will get him canned. God willing.

Thanks current leadership! Nice job!

Enrique just continuing to ruin the mental health of all employees with his absolute lies and gaslighting

This company is criminal

If you're letting people go just do it already and stop talking rubbish

Forcing people to quit by destroying the morale in the whole company

The whole board should be scrapped

I worked for InAuth, which was acquired by American Express. The company was run by a bunch of people who didn’t understand how to manage a software project, create a marketing plan, or exercise any meaningful leadership skills. Management was highly motivated to increase their frequent flier miles and avoid getting fired before their bonuses arrived. Everyone was interested in making money and getting promoted, but no one wanted to fix the constantly-breaking software. Charles Crupper distinguished himself by his inability to understand who the bad actors were, and to believe every self-promoting id--t who came his way. InAuth could be a business school study in how MBA’s should not run a technical company. Stupid is as stupid does.

I said it before and I will say it again. Not enough American buyers want an EV. Hybrid is something a lot of people are interested in. Common sense with hybrid - you get enough range for more day to day driving off Electric, but still have gas for longer trips. Didn’t anyone at Ford learn anything from the Lightening flop? I called it back in the day. This Ford Fathom is gonna be the same deal. Bad bad bad. Waste waste waste.

Who are these “Yes” people telling BF this nonsense of EV’s???

Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell us we are doing well and then pull some bs like this. Bryan is taking home a gigantic paycheck compared to the size of our company. The greed of shareholders is really insane. Every company lays off thousands of employees like it’s nothing just because the profits were 1 or 2 percentage lower.

Largely managing employees out! Strict tracking, micromanaging then what…? Why can’t you actually appreciate your employees and make them happy? What do you lose if you drive productivity through respect and motivation rather than toxicity and back stabbing?

Layoffs confirmed, just after earnings

I work for the most incompetent and delusional human being I’ve ever met. That he has reach a high level is truly astonishing.

Baron's magazine stopped just short of calling Honeywell Aero stock a value trap today: "Put together, we see Honeywell’s growth continuing to lag its peers. While the valuation is relatively inexpensive, we fear that this could be a value trap." It's no longer Honeywell, but it kept the name and the worst parts of the business practices and senior management hubris. Time to clean house in the executive suite completely and get rid of the old Allied Signal and Jack Welsh disciples that do nothing but poison companies , set them up to fail, and then walk off with golden parachutes. The downtime from the IT migration alone was in the tens of millions of dollars in Q1 alone. The migration residual issues are still a huge and expensive problem that prevents people from doing their work. It's turned into it's own whack-a-mole-zombie-juggernaut nightmare. Run, do not walk, away from this stock until they purge the cancer at the top and show solid financial results.

A lot of executives VP, SVPs are waiting for their stock to vest. They have no incentives to help the field people with any of the problems, either it is Score, Support, Product issues. We are selling because of relationship and not because of any capabilities.

A lot of these oldies are rusted and need to get kicked out starting with Jeff Clarke. He is a Plague.
