Mergers are inherently difficult. Merging 4 companies at once and adding a 5th shortly thereafter is a death wish. There is still no unified technology platform in place almost 2 years into the venture. They are running on dated patchwork systems, with dated patchwork employees, that have dated and patchwork skills. There is no plan of attack from product development, sales, and operations standpoints. The only real plan is to shine up the flaming bag or book of business to a larger conglomerate. The executive team has been on-board since almost the beginning has overseen the loss of millions in revenue yet is still at the helm with no new plans, products, or strategies. They walk around not looking into who the people in the company are and what their jobs and job functions do, they just look at each as a number with a $ in front of it. I would imagine that in a merger the employees that left or were let go would feel used until their knowledge was transferred, but they do not get to know anyone enough to even know what their job functions are. They walk around like their "you know what" doesn't stink and everyone is beneath them. The legacy employees that remain are either too lazy or fearful to find something comparable or are waiting their day to get a package. Some have been boosted to higher positions that don't have the skillset to handle the positions, but are "Yes-Men" so management will keep them on until they too are burnt out. Many new "non-legacy" employees come and go quickly, as soon as they realize they are in a very toxic situation. I could go on and on about everything but life on the outside of this place is too sweet to waste more time and energy.

After receiving extremely poor employee satisfaction ratings, the executive team went on an apology tour. They bought some lunches and said a bunch of buzzwords in the hopes that this would somehow fix the problems employees have with them. At no point did they actually say what they would DO to make things better for employees. Nor did they mention any strategy or plan to fix the problem of a declining book of business. They aren't honest with employees and instead opt to just say the word "transparent" to seem like they're being more transparent. Executives don't bother engaging with employees to the point that they don't even know their names. No wonder morale is low. When asked about the status of the company, all we get is nonsensical cheerleading. Anyone can tell they aren't telling the whole truth. They hesitate before answering or give long-winded non-answers that don't address the question. It's obvious they don't think very highly of their employees' intelligence. Maybe they just don't care. As soon as this executive team was brought on, things started going south very quickly. Products that sold well and brought in steady revenue were left to dry up and die. Clients were cancelling in droves because products didn't work and there was no support for them. Salespeople were hired but given no training on the products they would be selling. Experienced employees were either let go without any reason or quit, some even taking pay cuts just to get away. The former CEO assaulted an employee and they let him stay on for another four months after, only announcing his departure as a little blurb in an email. I could go on.
