No Morale in Regions

Pros

You have a job! Some of the original employees, before merger, are caring individuals.

Cons

No Morale in all the Regions! No holiday parties, no barbecue in the summer, as it was in the past. When it's your time to go, they try to make it difficult to work, to see if you quit, and if you don't then they eliminate your position, and offer a package. All promotions are in NY, and that's just giving out new higher titles to the same personal at the top!

Pros

It can’t get any worse!?

Cons

An organisation in serious disarray. There are too many directors and vice presidents of… and no women in senior roles to speak of.

Canon Response

Interesting comments. Two of the current EMEA management (SVP) layer are women, the diversity mix actually increases to as much as 56% in other parts of the business. It's not clear if you're suggesting there's a causal link between diversity and "disarray" but as an employee of 10+ years, it's completely understandable to feel that organisational change is uncomfortable - as well as unavoidable.
