It’s hard to come up with these as it feels that executive management is absolutely intent on making it a great place to work and are doing everything in their power to make it so. I remember when the executives found out about one high-level manager who was clearly out of step with the good Crown culture (unbelievable ego and his disrespect of others lower than him was ridiculous) and got rid of him immediately as fast as they could. It’s fantastic. And it sent the signal that they protect no one whose behavior is bad. I absolutely loved it. if only they could find all of the managers whose words actions and egos don’t always align with the culture that’s being preached. I’ve met middle/high-level managers in other regions that seem to have bigger egos than the entire executive management team put together (which, ironically don’t seem to have any ego at all). I remember one director getting rid of one of the hardest working, kindest individuals I’ve ever worked with. The employee was super helpful even when he really didn’t have time to be (as was evidenced by his constantly working weekends). He was promoted, then afterward, told the director he was having qualms about his own ability to do the job. Instead of giving his old job back (which he was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AT), he was immediately fired. Unreal ego trip. NOT A SINGLE EXECUTIVE WOULD HAVE CONDONED THAT AND WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIFIED OF LEARNING OF SUCH TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF SUCH A KIND, helpful, high-performing individual). He was an encyclopedia of knowledge about his job and trained several others. This was not in Houston.
