Comments on other threads blaming someone for joining a new company are absurd. Sage told everyone they were a biotech company and of course people took them for their word. You can't blame someone for wanting to be part of a new company and launch and stepping out of their comfort zone and giving it an attempt. Now the reality that Sage is a wolf in sheep's clothing has surfaced, many have begun to look for something else. The reality is that most of the smart, experienced people hired have realized they were lied to and now begin to pick up the pieces and start looking for a more solid opportunity. Of course there are still young, less experienced employees that will be slower to realize this and admit they made a mistake. Or, they simply don't know any better because this type of micro-managed culture is all they have known.
Region Sales Heads, like Chris B, are the epitome of what is wrong with the company and will lead to its over-managed downfall. Leaders like this lack true integrity and sincerity and give the same disingenuous compliments to every employee, while holding a tight leash around their throats till they slowly choke or leave. His lack of experience with only companies with this mentality, is a big part of the problem.
Weak managers like Chris B manage through policies, spreadsheets and edicts. They don't listen. They don't care about building trusting relationships with their teammates. Their personal messages are often carbon copies left to everyone. Personal becomes impersonal. They lead through metrics because thats all they know how to do. Pay attention to your manager. There are two other distinct signs you have a poor leader or manger. First, when your manager always sticks to the company policy, even when the policy is obviously makes no sense. They are a terrible manager and won't have your back. They don't buck the system. They don't want confrontation. Second, if your manager tells you to tamp down your expectations, keep quiet about important topics, keep every topic positive and never bring up the negative, and generally keep your head low to avoid getting in trouble, all are huge signs they are a terrible manager. Sage, sadly, is full of this type of manager. Be wary of people like Chris B and his minions.
