#poorleadership

That's just some next level stupidity.

Why do so many of them lack common sense? What’s the criteria for promotion? Inability to form a full sentence or what?

This whole thing’s being handled so badly it’d almost be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Too bad these are the ones deciding all our fates. We all know we’re sc--wed.

There’s a clear distinction between being fluent in English and demonstrating wisdom and sound decision-making. The leader being promoted in this company is knows how to say the right corporate things at the right time, but often lacks depth in judgment. When you look at the initiatives they champion and where they focus their efforts, it becomes apparent that many are driven more by smooth talk than by substance.

It’s wild how many leaders here have big titles but no idea what they’re doing. It's amazing how we have to spend half our time fixing their messes.

It’s a wrap, execs are just talking nonsense now. Get ready for more nonsense in the coming months

Sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.

How, such a large group of inept middle and upper management can congregate in one place and conspire to hollow out the will to live of so many valuable employees across the globe, is a miracle to behold.

One bad decision follows another, and another and another. Cutting costs of everything to the point where services cannot be effectively provided to customers, while barking on about what a powerhouse they are and how it's all going to change with the reinvention. Which actually means outsourcing everything to the cheapest bidder and it now not working correctly.

Diversity and inclusion are pushed and sold to employees every day, yet all that is encountered is segregation, exclusion and discrimination unless you are in the club. Speak up for what's right and the ranks are closed and the fairy tales rehearsed with the useless, non-existing support network for employees, who are in management's back pocket.

CEO club is over, and so is your honeymoon.

Fascinating read touching on Polaris, Advance 3M, and other poor decision making:

“Effectively, 3M became ‘a case study of everything not to do over a very long period of time’…”

Don’t let them fool you, Halliburton will be sold soon. Leadership will get wiped clean. It’s the only way. Worse leadership imaginable. Completely out of touch with hard working people that actually run the industry. Tell your white collar leadership to work on the well head, and earn their stripes like the rest of us.

NEW LEADERSHIP ASAP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Nothing to say that has not been posted here already. spoke with him on multiple occasions. this guy is a joke. lot of blatant lies on his linkedin profile too. not much of a career trajectory either. mid level PM to getting kicked out of adobe to being jobless for a couple years to landing this job. his connections in the board got him here. pity.

@OP+1k4876rt2 Bumping this post forward...This post had it all right.

Just how bad is it for SAP? Well our stock price has plummeted 12 % in just the last month and shows no sign of a rebound. It is tracking straight down.

But go have a look at what Oracle is doing just today... Stock is on par to set a record - it is up since opening this morning 35%. All due to some very big scores on AI - and where is SAP while others are winning ?? Your guess is as good as mine. This kind of beat down would not have happened under previous leadership teams.

We are planning of dumping our Maintenance Biz, which was responsible for most of our stable revenue over the last several decades and no indication as to what platform will replace this significant revenue stream.

It's hard to watch.

As was stated in the referenced post, CK and DA had better get their act together real soon, or SAP will be lost for good against our competitors.

Fireside chat “I am more confident in our strategy than I have ever been”
The man is deluded.
Future performance is normally determined by previous performance and all that has happened under SB tenure is chaos, confusion, reducing results, reducing stock price

If I had 10 cents for every dollar wasted over the past 15 years, I'd be wealthy. From IT solutions and overstaffing to training and firing thousands of nurses, plus failed EMRs and workforce management, the waste is staggering. Worse, those responsible were paid handsomely for poor results and received golden parachutes when their failures became clear.

He is a quiet quitter.

If you ever wanted an example of what poor leadership looks like, just look around here. Confusion everywhere, mixed messages from the top, no clear plan, and a workforce that’s demoralized because nobody trusts the people in charge. This isn’t just bad luck, it’s the result of bad leadership.

It’s because our leadership doesn’t know how to lead. Extremely poor communication upward and downward. Probably the worst in the industry. It’s why we are perpetually in the position we are in externally and internally. Literally All of them need to be removed for folks better suited to these roles. We are effectively leaderless with just some puppets occupying those positions. The senior mrgs, heads of x and dept are the worst at this. No bad people just horrible mgrs and leaders. And truth is they are comfortable they don’t want to change or for things to change.

OP: @b6+1k3kqvjzn

This is definitely the root of our problems. Bumping the post up for visibility.

We just got some help at the start of the year. Much needed help, let me add. I feel so bad for the kid. Why hire somebody just to kick them out so soon? How does that even make sense?

Nothing happens to them. Terrible results? Raise our compensation! ELT needs a whole new takeover but alas, that will never happen

ELT - congrats on making money hand over fist while downsizing the company only to get worse results!

There doesn’t seem to have been any strategic assessment of ongoing projects or team structures. My team is literally falling apart, and it's only going to get worse. We've lost people who were critical to anything beyond routine backend tasks. What’s the point of such crude cuts? It feels like they’re more likely to create long-term problems than solve anything.

There is no Leadership here. Just Management and plenty of poor of it. They oughta start calling these aholes EMT and not insult what a leader should be

quiet cracking refers to those who “gradually become mired in feeling both unappreciated by managers and closed off from career advancement while doing work they otherwise like

Economic uncertainty

Workload and job expectations

Poor leadership or uncertain company direction

Layoffs or restructuring

Lack of career advancement opportunities

So everyone from management to associate union to nonunion has this question concern.We all see the company pulling back from everything losing customers in every line of buisnesses!!We see them sometimes actively attempting to send our customers to the competition.What is the strategy or is this just no leadership and mismanagement.It does not matter if it’s on wireless side ,the landline business side or residential side.One thing is clear does Verizon want to be in any business or are the few at the top just trying to milk what they can while sending Verizon down the tubes??Serious question because anyone who needs to work a few more years in Verizon or has invested money in Verizon really is concerned

We refuse to pretend everything is fine.

We work in a company where people vanish from the org chart without warning, while executives celebrate imaginary victories and spout empty slogans about growth and culture. They tell us to be all-in, to treat this like our future. And yet we can be discarded at any moment, without reason, without acknowledgment.

This is not a culture of excellence; it’s a culture of quiet fear.

You cannot demand total effort while offering zero stability.

You cannot preach loyalty while practicing disposability.

You cannot expect people to build their lives when the ground is constantly being pulled out from under them.

This system is psychologically poisonous.

It breeds anxiety, distrust, and a permanent state of fight-or-flight.

We smile through it, but we are exhausted.

We produce, but we do not thrive.

We comply, but we do not believe.

We refuse the gaslighting. We refuse the fake optimism. We refuse the expectation that we should sacrifice everything for companies that can erase us overnight.

We deserve honesty. We deserve stability. We deserve the basic dignity of being able to plan our lives without living in quiet te---r.

Enough.

Why we have so many incompetent and unqualified people in Sr leadership role in Technology ? Cloud program is a joke with PC , AC etc.. they just got surrounded or shielded by people who should not be in the employment. Is it same everywhere ?
