Have you been to the circus? Have you seen the clown car driving around with a bunch of clowns who have no clue where they’re going or what they’re doing but they’re in control? This is it.
Gross incompetence. The CEO is hot head and micromanager making all the decisions at the top, because he has people under him who don’t. He’s probably been around too long and he seems to still run the company like he did when it was a much smaller one, not an international one. A lot of really good people are leaving. The really bad ones are staying.
For example, we have a Service exec who is disorganized, doesn’t show up for meetings (no call no show) and when he does is quiet until he finds something he can get upset about and then goes on emotional tangents discouraging everyone. This is tolerated by the CEO and management. When the CEO says we have a no jerk rule, it applies to everyone except him and the ELT.
