What’s up with Malibu?

Incentives

Bonuses and merit increases out of the same bucket?!?! How’s that supposed to work? The girl that’s due a promotion has to fight it out with team that’s due a raise for the past two years?!?! Absolutely ridiculous! I guess that’s why they are... — read more

Hey look, another acquisition

I think management is realizing how bad the data really is and will continue grasping at straws to fix it with these acquisitions.

Sacrificing Quality for Quantity

So this company clearly went through significant changes- whereas the sales teams were told it would not impact them too much. (That was hard to believe at the time anyway).. Well after laying off tons of behind the scenes people in finance, etc... — read more

This is the wrong approach

Why does this management believe that laying off its best and most knowledgable employees will solve many problems created by years of their own lousy decisions? Has this ever actually worked? Shouldn't the simple fact that there have been no... — read more

Beware

I had a long career at D&B for over 30 years. Outlasted many company presidents/CEOs. Sara Matthews started the decline. She started the outsourcing to India. Go figure. Her MaxCV project costs millions and was sc-aped. Now company is private. SD is... — read more

Wow, another post deleted

The guy posted a nice thing about a former CEO! Even Glassdoor doesn’t have a problem with posts with regards to those in prominent positions. And it was a former CEO....and it was nice!! What is wrong with the moderators here?

Worst Tech Town Hall
