Black Box reviews

Rapidly shifting strategy and extreme chasing of tails.

During my tenure with the company, it consistently failed to meet either revenue or earnings targets, and the most recent response was a 25% reduction in the direct U.S. workforce. Middle management operates as an insular circle more focused on managing up than actually leading teams or delivering results. Senior leadership functions inside a classic “Monkey Tree” structure: those at the top see only smiling faces, while those below see nothing but backsides. Under the current ownership structure, a significant number of roles have been and continue to be offshored to lower‑cost regions, further hollowing out the U.S. organization. In my opinion, this is not an environment where careers grow; it’s an environment where careers go to die.
