Completely agree, if you do offer your opinion or suggestions you become a target because NOBODY should dare to question Maricel! She is not even remotely open to hearing someone else's perspective, so arrogant it couldn't possibly be better than hers. Look at the downfall of this company and more importantly moral since she got here. The posse comment, spot on, you all know who they are and if it's not you, then you have a large bullseye on your back, you all know who they are too. The unprofessional hack gets on calls and attacks individuals by name, no one dares to defend them because then she turns on you. It's no secret who she is trying to get rid of because she has run her mouth so much.
Now, Christine, first off, go buy some damn shapewear for God's sake, you are not the size you think you are and can't imagine what working from home has done for that, Spanx and your ass are "match fit". You have created the monster and one of you needs to go. Hopefully, now that we are rolling over, HR will play a large role. Rumor has it that Maricel and Christine have both been reported for their unprofessional, abusive management styles; no surprise, hear it happened at previous companies as well. You have a chance to get it right and do something good here, it's the moment we have been waiting for since the beginning, show some GRIT and make some much needed changes.
