Most toxic workplace I ever encountered. If you're hankerin' for some rough stuff, maybe give 'em a try.
- execs who gaslight you
- so-called leaders who dismiss your proposals with specious reasons, only to later adopt them as their own, after some sycophantic lackey has parroted them back to them like a trained parrot.
- leaders who, with a self-righteous grin, boast of their messaging and calls in the late night, as if such actions were a mark of their devotion and dedication
- Leaders who are ignorant of what makes money in the business, yet still demand that change be summoned at the behest of their will, like a sorcerer conjuring a tempest from thin air, and all the while, the internal customers, mere pawns in this game of whimsy, are compelled to bend business requirements to their desires, despite the futility of such efforts.
- leaders who behave rather like the proverbial ostrich, deliberately neglecting to have ethical guardrails and risk-related metrics until they are confronted with the prospect of an audit. At which point, they become as eager as mustard to prioritize these very same metrics, like a hen pecking at a nest egg.
- Rigid adherence to priorities that descend from the heavens and disregard for the customer
- Executives who create conflict between different teams that they manage and are not even aware that they are doing so
- Executives who unknowingly sow discord among the very teams they purport to lead. Blinded by their own myopic ambitions, they are like unwitting puppeteers, manipulating the strings of power and influence without any conscious awareness of the chaos they create. Like a ship adrift in a stormy sea, their organizations are tossed about by the conflicting interests and petty squabbles that erupt among their teams.
