Incapable Leadership: The Engineering VP joined in Bangalore recently has completely destroyed the positive culture that the company had. There’s a strong sense of favoritism, where a small group of employees are given all the perks, promotions, and important projects, while the rest are ignored or micromanaged. This has created division and distrust across teams.
Monopolistic Control: Engineering VP has consolidated power, making all key decisions without any input from the team. Employees are treated like replaceable cogs in a machine, and there’s zero collaboration. If you don’t align with their personal preferences, you’re sidelined, no matter your experience or performance.
Favoritism is the Only Path to Success: If you’re not part of the favored group, you’ll be passed over for opportunities. Your hard work will go unnoticed, and your career will stagnate. It doesn’t matter how skilled or qualified you are; if you’re not in the boss’s inner circle, you’re invisible.
Destroyed Company Culture: What was once an innovative, open, and collaborative environment has become toxic and demotivating. The Engineering VP has encouraged backstabbing, politicking, and fear-based management. Instead of being encouraged to share ideas, employees are silenced, and dissent is punished. Morale is at rock bottom, and the energy in the office is downright depressing.
High Turnover & Low Engagement: Since the new Engg VP arrived, there’s been a constant stream of people leaving. Those who remain are disengaged, and it’s clear that many are just waiting for the next opportunity to escape. Employee burnout is high, and the team dynamics have fallen apart
