Pros
The corporate office’s effort to organize some lighthearted social activities in the work day is wholehearted and nice.
Cons
The top two IT “leaders” (a misapplied term here) are gravely inappropriate, inadequate, and problematic. Their combined shortcomings reflect a clear inability to lead effectively, and their fragile egos are offended by even the mildest feedback, resulting in targeted bullying. Since the appointment of the current head of IT, turnover has reached approx. 50% within 3.5 years, including many cases of wrongful terminations and constructive dismissals. It seems the C-suite prioritized DEI factors over qualifications when selecting this individual, whose leadership style is marked by excessive micromanagement and erratic mood swings. To make it all worse, the organization lacks advocates for employees subjected to these profoundly unacceptable behaviors.
