Where to start...there are so many.
BF has long lost the "culture". Upper mgmt is slowing removing the reasons employees suffer through stress, ridiculous and missed timelines, and terrible software & downtime day after day.
Promoting unseasoned managers or team leads based merely on the fact that they eat crap politely and can be paid slave labor wages, that can't help their overworked employees because their hands are tied or there are too many esclated clients and whomever yells the loudest gets the attention and fluffy upper mgmt who just sit back and watches us flail in the deep end.
To the thick layer of upper mgmt who don't actually do work. How many reorgs do you need to figure out it may not only be the process, but the leaders making the reorg decisions. New jobs and tasks + same mgmt/decision makers = no real change. These leaders don't actually know what goes into a successful employer implementation because they have either never been through one or it's been so long they forget how terrible it is when sales sells crap we can't and should not do, system downtime that should push timelines but don't becasue BF will never acknowledge that implementation has been completely set up for failure from the beginning with managers who can't problem solve, just over promise so their employees can under deliver.
Layoff layoff layoffs...to replace with cheap underskilled GLOBAL employees who can't think critically without step by step instructions or check lists that take longer to complete then actually just doing the work yourself. Last year proved to be quite the success with global workers, right? Wrong...this created more customer disatisfaction, overworked employees yet again, bogged down systems which ultimately led to OE lasting until...wait we are STILL cleaning up the 2015 OE nightmare! Or the poor souls still left.
BF is not using Global employees to help give care to our customers around the clock, look around many of our global assocites are on campus or working our schedules (if you think that, you need to take a step back and stop drinking the kool-aid before it's too late and you find yourself in the unemployment line with the people who actually did work at BF) global is a cost saving strategy, that is ALL! It is a disservice to our clients, our local community, and the unemployment rate in Charleston.
And the push for BF to be profitable by year end will ultimatley lead to the complete and utter crumble of BF and what good employees are left to clean up the mess from the mass amount of layoffs that will happen to make sure the cushy upper mgmt looks good to the stake holders and can continute to donate millions of dollars to local charities, drive nice & expensive cars, and import employees from outside of charleston and outside of the US. The answer will not be in the massive amounts of global associates who have had little to no quality training because you have pushed out the in ome way or another all of the knowledgable ones. Should make for a very interesting 2016 OE and beyond.
If that is not enough to make you RUN not walk from BF, read the many many other unsatisfied employee reviews, or better yet walk around the campus and just look at the faces of the front line employees, hear what they are saying about how crazy things have been and still are. Where is HR in the crazy mess??? They say they are willing to listen and hear our concerns, and when you get us all in a room to talk about them and promise to get us answers, then never show your face again...speaks volumes! Someone who can really make a difference needs to be reading these reviews.
Shawn where are you, why are you letting these people run your company into the ground, treat your employees like slaves and then throw them away like the massive amount of blocker JIRAs from yesterday's engineering release and just sitting back...enough is enough. NO MORE COWBELL.
