This is where things will become real. This company is not the same after Susan leaving and Cary Grace taking over. I'm not blaming Cary, but it's just not the same, with lots of blame to go around.
Being a leader, I interacted with IT daily. The majority of folks are good people, but there are so many senior directors and above that ooze toxicity.
When I started as one of the first remote workers in early 2019, the company had unity and the culture was very tight. During COVID, the pandemic created a huge boom for our bottom line and there was a sense of pride working there.
We hired so many new people to keep up with the demand, it felt like we were growing and going to the moon. We brought in so many outsiders, with very little specific industry experience. I saw it first hand, anyone with a degree would be hired, regardless of your experience.
My boss, is/was a perfect example of narcissistic and a flat out bully. Unwilling to listen, blame everyone but himself, very little practical experience, and sadly, no vision.
Senior leader are so concerned about quarterly deliverables, that they have no strategic long term vision. At least the ones I had to deal with. There are also backdoor deals, with questionable partners located overseas. It smelled like fraud and probably is.
I was also told by my boss, who is still there and now a VP, there are no career progression paths, that my best option is to leave the organization. Karma will pay you back as the energies of the universe always balance out.
