Clueless leadership - Senior Product Manager PayPal Employee Review

Leadership Churn: Constant management changes and a lack of domain expertise have killed long-term strategy. Instead of building better systems, leaders are micromanaging based on personal opinions rather than market reality. Performance Theater: High job insecurity has forced engineering teams to focus on "looking busy." People are spending more energy selling small, incomplete wins to leadership than actually finishing high-value work. HiPPO Culture: Decisions are being driven by the "Highest Paid Person’s Opinion" rather than what the customer actually needs. This prioritizes internal hierarchy over real-userimpact.
