It’s clear that Fidelity cannot and will not develop managers to be leaders.

Is there a strength that the firm has that could reshape my opinion of the firm? Things were better before the pandemic, but it doesn’t seem like work will ever go back to being a great place to work.

I’ve been kicked down so many times that even the bare minimum is more effort than the company deserves. It’s not just me, it’s my whole department and probably just a leadership style.

There needs to be a process to demote or fire the managers who were hired during the pandemic, with no experience or qualifications.

Does anyone know the numbers? When will the useless VPs be let go? Totally directionless with no vision.

CDO, then CDO/CIO, then CDOA/CIO is laid himself off by taking another job. The sad thing is he has taken credit for the work of those who earned their jobs without a friendship with Christa Quarles.

• he did not lead an overhaul of the company's platforms, IT infrastructure, and business applications to improve security and facilitate more efficient operations.
• he was given a fully secure an operational infrastructure. Under his management he lost two very savvy infrastructure leaders along with other managers and ICs who didn't trust his experience or the people he hired from OpenTable.
• we are hosted in AWS and Azure mostly and all the operations were already efficient and secure
• nothing changed regarding how the company used data as the team responsible is very savvy.
• there was nothing to modernize considering AWS, Azure and GCP along with the rest of the SaaS apps the prior CIO and security leader implemented.
• the Senior Director, Global Services left as he didn't trust him nor Christa.
• the CTO had to obtain an updated SOC2 Type 2 after Grant and the CISO let the certification lapse for two years.

Why does HPE keep shuffling the same leaders around? Is there no one else in their mind that can do a lot of these jobs? Doesn’t look like people that want to move up will get the chance. Plus all of it feels mundane and routine nothing exciting about any of it.

How long untill the new CES guy becomes CEO. Another Accenture guy will be a big success just like Sal. Anyone else hearing anything?

Chief Transformation Officer.....

So much experience for someone that is probably not even 40 years old. smh

Early Retirement Program, RIF, and all the talk of cost cutting so that another C Suite title can be created. A position that, most would question, should be the skills of the current $15M per year CEO. smh

Anyone agrees with this ?
We thought Wayne was the monster.

A reporter asked a Marine. "Why are Marines so good at what they do?" The Marine replied, "Officers Eat Last."

Yes, it is a common practice and a widely held belief in the Marine Corps that officers should eat last. This isn't a strict rule, but rather a symbolic gesture and a practical demonstration of putting the needs of their subordinates (enlisted Marines) before their own. It emphasizes the principle of selfless leadership and prioritizing the well-being of the team.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Symbolic gesture:
The act of eating last in the chow line reinforces the idea that leaders are responsible for the welfare of their Marines and that they prioritize their needs.

Practical application:
In the field, junior Marines are often the ones doing the most physically demanding work and need to be properly fed to maintain their energy and readiness.

Leadership principle:
This practice is deeply rooted in the Marine Corps' leadership philosophy, which emphasizes service, responsibility, and putting the needs of the team first.

Beyond the chow line:
While it's most visible in the chow line, the concept of "leaders eat last" extends to various aspects of Marine life, where leaders are expected to make sacrifices and ensure the well-being of their Marines.

Not just a saying:
While some might consider it a saying, it's a practice that many Marines take seriously and strive to uphold.

I never knew this but subscribed to this philosophy for some time now. Focus on serving other versus self-serving.
