Disconnected from reality at a global level - the senior figures there are so far removed its sad. They struggle to relate to Millennials, no matter how much they say they do... SLT continues to refer to the new workplace/workforce yet they are completely jaded by their own sense of worth. The leadership teams that I work with/for (when you get them 1-1) are all too happy to talk about how much they can't stand who "leads" them, and that simply shows a lack of integrity. I have traveled the world with HP and met hundreds of HP'ers and most just sigh and shrug their shoulders, which saddens me because they want to achieve, do well and beat the competition and sadly, this is exactly what the leadership want, well rather need because without this, people would simply tell them to go jump (and a younger workforce will, the are not afraid to take risks). I have been here for well over a decade and worked in two regions and the GBU, and it was the latter that turned me. The "leaders" are clearly fighting for status, I've heard them bicker about each other, about personal attributes rather than professional ones, I've heard them say "I know what I'm doing won't work but it's easier to do this and watch it fail than it is to find a better solution" (Senior VP) I've stood there as VP's complain that other departments added something to their technology before they themselves had the chance, in my head I'm saying WTF we are the same company. I watch people managers completely disregard the need to foster people, that's what your're there for for crying out loud, not to say things like and I quote "you're only here to make me look good". Prior to the GBU work/life balance did exist.
