Caveat Emptor EA - Jamie Melendez Cool-Aid!

Absolutely agreed.

We do also really need to evolve our strategy to clean up our mess and gain some of our respectability back.

 

Evolving strategy is good.

But first the Dead Heads must go.

For years now, it’s been a revolving door of inadequacy.

We can only hope we recover before too long.

 

Beating a dead horse is not going to get us anywhere, but the good news may be that there is no more resistance in the organization to change. It is easier to box folks in IT, than a hurdle of sheep.

 

Salient points. It’s taking time to unwind this mess we are in and resisting the change needed only allows more inefficiencies and dead heads to linger.

 

Would be terrific to get rid the dead heads and also gain some respectability back for our organization.

Long time coming!

 

respectability - not a word. Never had any respect for starters.

 

With the likes of these people, no wonder respect has left the building.

With each bad hire we’ve built our own problems.

 

Our hiring practices have long suffered, agreed.

Hope we can attract and retain the right people. As of now we are in disarray.

 

This must get better.

Look how far we’ve fallen with the last few years of hiring.

We have people who cannot even manage!

 

Welcome to Rock Bottom with all this dead weight in the Org.

 

Cannot believe how far our Org has fallen and here’s a good example.

 

We have Dan Asshole Zelem to thank for this mess. He’s gone but his legacy lives on

 

That’s is a fact, DZ was poison in our organization and created a culture of bullying and intimidation. He had relationships with vendors that were very suspect. He had a relative that was trying to sell an unproven software pkg to quality. He saw nothing wrong with it but when a subordinate voiced concern they were promptly pushed aside and their role eliminated. Great that he was eventually walked out but there is a lot of damage that needs to be undone.

 

Agreed and...Dan and these Merck retreads have neither shown any leadership skills nor management expertise. We cannot weed these lackluster leftovers out fast enough.

 

And let us not forget Jennifer Blanchard. A demotion to senior manager was not low enough.

 

Rowena should hand out the boxes to these turds and soon!

 

Let’s make sure MS is history too. She has got to be the worst HR rep we have ever had. She played both sides during these reorganizations sleazing to get info on everyone’s side and betraying them with the info they provided. That was of course when you could find her and she wasn’t too busy circling the globe bragging about her frequent flyer account.

 

Agreed on MS. And, hopefully, Jim is taking a long hard look at the ineptness of our GTS org and weed these AWipes out and re-establish our credibility.

 

There’s a list we can only hope!

 

Starting here hopefully folks such as this are at the Top of the list!
