New CMO creates toxic culture as the ship sinks. - Anonymous employee Automation Anywhere Employee Review

I can't think of anything positive to say about my time at Automation Anywhere. Being one of the 10+% who were laid off, I am very bitter how they laid people off. They laid people off via email. Cold and uncaring. The also already had replacements waiting in the wing for those laid off. Things they did wrong. CFO illegally reduced employees performance rates, so that, they would have to pay out less than owed. My manager directly told me this is how they were committing fraud to keep the lights on. Reducing my KPI percentage from 100% to 90%, costing me thousands in earned bonuses. Is it legal to cook the books and steal rightful bonuses from people? I was told directly by my manager to not be mad, as the remainder of my bonus would be coming the next pay out. It never came and of course they laid me off. The C-level new hires are toxic. New CMO created such a toxic environment since the first day they arrive, that is carried over to many other areas of the company. Intentionally causing departments to fragment under the strain of new ideas that net nothing in return. The culture of caring and family hood evaporated quickly. Working conditions, even while working Remote were completely changed after his hire and him hiring his friends in high ranking levels. Work/Life balance was destroyed before the lay offs. We had people working 70+ hours a week to help the company, only for them all to be laid off. CMO nepotism basically helped ensure he could hire his own friends and their companies while he double dipped in former companies he owned to get paid more than his salary. Nepotism and theft. If you want your wages and bonuses stolen...this is the place to work. Don't feel bad, they will just email you when they are done with you. They did keep some very lazy people in positions. The people they cut were the hard workers. The people they kept have failed upward.
