Why all the Weck haters? Is he really that much of a tool?

Honest opinions welcome here in the "No Credo" zone!

 

Since we're being honest, TW is a total idiot and lacks people skills! How and why he is a VP is anyone's guess!

 

Wow! The previous comment was way too kind! LOL!

 

Can anyone point to one major achievement of TW over his duration in J&J. I have seen his career for over 10 years and did not see one strategic achievement. Looks like go with flow kind of guy and and has a sponsor some place.

 

Weck consistently demeans and embarrasses his direct reports. He has survived by eliminating potential competition. It's a moot point now, because there will be no place for him in the new order. He is neither diverse or inclusive!

Maybe he can start a Tennis camp post-J&J so he can abuse young athletes in the same manner he abuses his colleagues at J&J?

 

Hope not!

 

I'm a woman of color and can tell you first hand Weck was almost fired back in 2009 for inappropriate comments. In today's low tolerance environment he would have been sacked immediately!

 

Weck has also made several insensitive comments towards the LGBTQ community. It's a wonder he is still there. I guess no one is paying attention right now! Hopefully, that will change soon!

 

He also has the worst employee retention ratio compared to the other IT VPs.

 

Wecks track record clearly shows he never promotes woman. He is a relic from the good 'ole boys club and does not represent our diversity and inclusion strategy. He needs to step off!

 

I do not know where you are getting your data from - however all of you who are TW haters are wrong and mis informed.

TW is one of the best leaders in JnJ. He lives by the credo and its values and promotes them all the time. He promotes people into leadership roles around JnJ, and continues to empower folks to succeed. He is always looking for the best in people and goes out of his way to ensure they are successful. He would make a phenomenal CIO for JnJ.

 

Thanks, Tom.

 

Wow! looks like Tom has one fan out of all of the people who view this board! LOL!

 

TW has been called out by HR in the past and even had to go to special training to address his abrasive and abusive behavior. From what I observe, more training is in order!

 

I've been at J&J for 16 years, mostly in Consumer IT. I agree with the negative comments and believe TW's next project in his new role will be the "divestiture" of himself from J&J (◦’ںˉ◦)

 

Short answer is yes, weck is a major tool!

 

I worked with Tom on a key project about 7 years ago - he was supportive of me & my team for the most part (primarily because I brought a skill set that he needed to meet his goals); he did get edgy when our work inadvertently exposed one of his guys and other execs warned me that TW was 'high-maintenance'. Once my executive engagement was successfully completed, I moved on with good wishes from Tom.

Perhaps I was not around long enough to see his 'ugly' side ?

 

Saying Tom is "high-maintenance" is an understatement. The dude has serious anger issues. Three of his female direct reports requested transfers shortly after I joined the company due to his abusive behaviors. Two transferred and one left the company just to get away from him.
