"Bonuses are going to be a little smaller this year", but hey, check out the Moody's Gate at MetLife Stadium! Extremely relevant and not at all tone-deaf for all the employees who don't want to travel to East Rutherford, NJ. (And who does. Go Jets? lol)

If you're part of an acquisition, close your eyes, and try to hold your breath, because they're going to slowly and rapidly destroy everything you cared about. If you took pride in your old company, then encourage Moody's to rebrand it as fast as possible, so that you don't have see your company name and reputation trampled through the mud.

Meeting padding galore. Why be productive when you could schedule yet another meeting and fill your calendar?
Have a question that could be answered via email or DM? Someone is gonna schedule a meeting. It's easier than typing.
Ask the wrong person a question? Someone is gonna schedule a meeting. And they'll invite at least 3 people, 2 who are unrelated.
If it matters, I hope you took notes, because you'll reach the end of the meeting and someone is gonna schedule a meeting because apparently they weren't taking notes? I can't believe I experienced this.

Leadership loves a good reorg, because the chaotic shuffling will fill agendas and calendars with meetings, slides, and committees for weeks and months and years! Once things start to slow down, it is probably time for another reorg.
