Very political. Below average pay. Directionless. Every new upper management type has the same 'great new idea'. Which was tried and rejected many times before.
Upper management makes stupid decisions and then forces employees to fix things.
The latest scam is the 'Unified messaging'. Acquired Jive that sells Asterisk PBX that was obsolete all the way back in '97.
There are more Directors and VPs than worker bees! Lost count on how many reorgs there were since the GetGo merger. Speaking of which, the merger - the tricky way to enrich the shareholders and upper management.
Tone-deaf management. Sending useless employee surveys and doing nothing in response, except more surveys. Atrocious employee engagement.
Plastered huge posters with the 'company values' all over the place. With zero intention of following them.
Too risk-averse. Mostly yes-men (and women). Mortal fear of 'what the others will say'.
Laid off entire customer support team in Goleta to offshore to contractors in Costa Rica. Following the 'low cost development centers' BS idea.
Product managers, especially at the upper level are incredibly clueless. Protecting local turfs instead of thinking of customers. Investing in useless products nobody wants or needs.
Latest 'gift' for the new year - a switch to the 'unlimited PTO' policy. With one week notice. As a result, the accrued PTO is forfeit. Nice. Stealing from employees.
Untrustworthy, greedy, feckless, cheap bastards. The only goal is to enrich the top management.
The only thing that is done well - Bill Wagner talking in platitudes. I guess mst CEO psychos have to learn to do that.
