Rackspace Technology Program Manager reviews

Change is one thing... but pretending to be so rah-rah and tricking people is disgusting.

-Monthly rah rah All Hands meetings where employees are told of Record Breaking results followed by layoffs, offshoring, program cuts, etc. with no explanation from leadership -Massive golden parachute payouts to executives who stay for less than a year-revolving door for Sr. Leadership -Institutionalized micromanagement through Kevin Jones' "management system" of meetings and activities which eat up hours upon hours of people's time preparing power point decks that often aren't covered in their entirety in a given meeting. -There is no longer an appetite from senior leadership for creative problem solving-manager and director are expected to implement and execute; not think and collaborate -Constant reorganization with a focus on immediate results rather than allowing changes to make an impact in a reasonable amount of time -HR is way too involved in decision making for business leaders to the point of telling business leaders how to manage their business. Not following HR guidance can be a death sentence when it comes to future promotions, raises, etc. unless you have a strong leader who will stand up to them (there are a couple of awesome HR people who are very helpful but it's not the norm and the really awful ones seem to stay and get promoted into higher levels of influence).
