@193x Tubby drank the kool-aid! I will say that before Matt, even though Deren was crazy, Cricket was a fun place to work. After this loser Matt. With that multicolored hair soror it went down hill! I cannot wait til they get rid of Gomer! He's a crook and scam artist.
Several former leaders of Tubby’s org, including directors and tech leads, have been saying that Tubby claims Haymons was and is improperly expensing personal purchases on his company credit card. According to them, Tubby also alleges that Haymons encouraged him to do the same.These accounts have been shared by multiple individuals. Given past concerns regarding Haymons’ conduct, I am pretty sure the claims credible.
I really wish they would clean this place and its BS up by getting rid of this dishonorable POS.
@17h8
No doubt Matt is a racist piece of sh-t. I have no idea how he is still here.
@140s Haymons is winging it! He knows zero about I.T. I bet he misses good old whale of a friend Tubby! Also, what ever happened to his super power soror? She's gone too! Maybe she will have time to appropriately color that awful oil soil hairdo! Ol Matty, you know how to pick em!!!!! HR should get rid of Matty just on the strength of his leadership decisions. They thought they had me and found out real quick. I should've opened a report on him for racism. Keep documentation Cricket Nation! He'll be gone too!
@tve
No they sent him on a trip to Hawaii…again.
@11m8
Matt allowed the abuse, HR recommended actions multiple times, and ultimately Matt protected him- until he couldn’t any longer…
@1132 F Tubby! He got exactly what he deserved! I was abused under him for 8 years and the moment he came for me, it was like he prepared his own bed to lay in. I reported him years prior and nothing happened! He had sought revenge from me for years and got his opportunity to can me in the layoff. I took his @ss and his flunky director down within weeks. They underestimated the power of a DEI hire and found out! I was taking 8 years of documentation and was able to help bring him down. I don't appreciate HR allowing this abuse for years and feel sorry for those left behind to grin and bare the abuse as I did for years. My advise is to keep reporting and documentation of everything you witness. Good Luck Cricket Nation!
@1131
Now, I don’t speak lightly on a man’s character—but Tubby carried himself in a way that was plainly unacceptable. In all my 37 years of work, I’ve rarely witnessed someone behave with such open disregard for others and face no consequence for it. What troubled me just as much was Matt’s decision to shield that behavior. A leader is meant to uphold standards, not excuse their violation. In good conscience, I felt it necessary to report them both.
And in this season of Easter, a time meant for reflection and renewal, I will keep them both in my prayers—that they may grow, learn, and come to carry themselves with greater decency and respect for others snd teach their children these principles as well.
Tubby was nothing in comparison to Haymons. I ended up working directly for him after he “surplused” my boss—someone who had simply gotten too close to uncovering what was really going on. From that point on, procurement reported directly to him, and it became painfully clear how easily he was able to funnel money to his preferred vendor—the same one who was taking him to games, vacations, and more.
I stayed longer than I should have, hoping things might change, but eventually I just couldn’t stomach it anymore. The fraud wasn’t even hidden—it was done so openly, almost proudly, even boasted about by the vendor. It was disheartening to watch, especially knowing that anyone who tried to speak up was quietly pushed out.
Out of fear, I reported everything to HR anonymously, but it never seemed to matter. He was always one step ahead, careful enough to cover his tracks. I also raised concerns about his inappropriate relationship with the agile coach, but before anything could really be looked into, he made sure she was gone. The “Soror” is gone as well—she had tried to do the right thing and report it too.
Looking back, it’s just incredibly disappointing how easily it all continued, and how those who tried to do the right thing were the ones who paid the price. There is no integrity as long as Haymons is there.
@z18
Yep
Haymons is a f’n joke. Anyone else notice he’s chasing cookie again?
Was Matty at the Daytona 500 again this year with Tech M? Asking for a friend….
@rns Has it ever dawned on you that maybe Angela has secrets! Maybe she and Matt are working together. why else would Gomer get away with mu---r?
@rnp
No one would be surprised. It’s not far fetched. And they’d just sweep it under the rug like everything else with him….
Is Tech M taking Gomer to the Super Bowl? Asking for Tubby…..jajaja
(sad thing is, this would be a joke if such surreal sh-t didn’t actually happen here)
@nvq I do not feel one ounce of sorrow for the soror(Uncle Tom)!! She is as cruel as the two of them. I have witnessed her nastiness for years, and was the victim of her setting me up. She got exactly what she deserved! I saw the devil in her! She is a fake and a phony, just like Matt. How dare this racist lead a DEI committee (The devil is a lie!). They laid off two people that were on the committee and highly dedicated! Seems they were on th wrong committee. They are snakes, from the soror (Uncle Tom), to Gomer Pyle(Matt), and that disgusting Tubby. OMG! I am so glad I do not have to look at that ruthless, heartless creep any more. Now, all I need for Christmas is for that so called Executive leader Matt to be GONE! He is a phony weirdo! Yuk! I feel so sorry for those of you who have to continue looking at him! They did me a favor! Trust, I am at a much better company now! But, again, they ALL got exactly what they deserved.
@nvq
No one in their right mind would hire him
@j1a
Who would hire Tubby? He is a deeply unethical individual. Matt is equally responsible for allowing him to repeatedly violate company policy. When two parents are present and one is abusing a child, is only the abuser at fault? Of course not—both share responsibility. Matt is just as culpable.What makes this even more troubling is that I have to get through each day seeing his face, saying nothing, and quietly trusting that karma will eventually catch up to him. I am grateful the days that he is out or I do not run into his fake, racist, condecending self. It is particularly disturbing that he is now leading the DEI committee. For those of us who experienced and witnessed racism from him firsthand, this feels like a cruel irony. I genuinely feel sorry for the “soror,” who aligned herself with two racist misogynists, only to have it backfire on her.
@OP Does anyone know how things are going with Tubby, MP and the so called AD that thought she could set up her direct report? All the plans they were making for others, they were actually making for themselves!!!! I KNOW not one of you will EVER forget what happened when you so called executed your plan on the annointed. Who went down? YOU three!!! Three strikes...Hard lesson to learn...Many cannot wait until that racist VP (MH) goes down with you. It is KNOWN that he co-signed your plans. When he is gone, that's when we will know the universe has spoken. Bugle boy Tubby...So called soror MP, and flunky AD, you are not very bright.(HAHA)! If you want to do dirt, make sure you keep your laundry clean...DAH!
@gh4 I hope all of them never forget what happened. They tried to hide behind titles and undermine direct reports. The morale to the story is that within the organization you HAD a title, but the little tiny ant that you underestimated took these less than moral people down. Don't let the titles fool you! The bold action of one person created a movement that is still going... I personally cannot wait to see that dishonest Gomer Pyle, phony MH go down!
@ew1
His day will come. Tubby is singing about the corruption from what his former direct reports are saying. In fact, former AD's and and former VP's have also been contacted by global security on this mess. It must be very serious for T to be contacting former employees. There appears to be a lot coming to light regarding our CIO and his extra curricular activities. Our President will go down with the ship on this one also it seems.
@e65 Please hurry up an make the GRAND FINALE...Haymons walk of shame out the door!
@dy3 - All things aside, I believe the people who got fired weren’t let go over just one thing. Our CIO might not look great in all this, and yeah, maybe he didn’t step in — but honestly, he probably didn’t have much room to move. When leadership is under the g-n, they tend to protect themselves first.
And after being on the admin side for 20+ years, I’ve seen how this usually goes. Whether it was Tubby or the two ADs, it’s almost never just a single issue. A company only needs one undeniable, well-documented reason, even when there are multiple things stacked up behind it. HR’s job is to protect the company, and sometimes that means handling things quietly or keeping certain details in-house. That could even be what’s happening in Matty’s case — if there’s a cover-up or just selective transparency, then yeah, he’s pretty lucky right now. You think they don't know he is deep in vendors pockets ?
I also believe that alongside the behavioral stuff, there had to be some kind of clear, concrete evidence that backed the decision. I am thinking corruption or misrepresentation. If any of them truly weren’t at fault, they wouldn’t be sitting quietly. They would have taken action — especially you all know the two ADs, who were both outspoken activist types and would’ve used every opportunity to push back including legal action. The fact that nothing’s come out says a lot. Most people don’t stay silent when they think the company wronged them; they stay silent when they know the documentation is solid and they have more to loose if they do frivolous things .
In the end, everyone thinks they’re untouchable until the moment they’re not. And Matty’s probably doing the same thing — riding that wave, thinking he’s safe — until he’s not. Who ever the person that is presenting their case here is no saint, even though they might want to pretend like one.
@d50
I believe the original message was likely written by someone who felt they had been intentionally marginalized by their leadership team. I personally saw situations where her reputation was being damaged after she declined to support what she felt was an inaccurate narrative. She frequently challenged practices she believed were inappropriate or out of line with company policy, and she ultimately she was treated unfairly. When she was "surplused" , she openly expressed her concerns, which may have contributed to subsequent organizational changes.
It also seemed that the situation became especially significant for Tubby, who has been the subject of multiple concerns over the years. It appears the two ADs became entangled in the broader issues as well, perhaps unintentionally, which ultimately affected all three of them. Most believe our CIO might have preferred to see them depart too, given that they may have been aware of dynamics he was influencing behind the scenes.
In her comments, she was referring to the hope for better leadership through our team’s transition under an existing AVP known for treating people well, as well as the recent promotion of a genuinely well-respected colleague to AD. She was not referring to the CIO as an example of strong leadership; across teams, there is broad agreement that his leadership style has been problematic. Many are hopeful that this will eventually be addressed, as it would give our new President a better chance at success and help reduce the toxic environment that has been affecting the organization.
@d05 what ?
@ctx These people only care about money! I was an ant on the totum pole, standing up against these monsters. I left this silly organization with no choice but to act. I am one of few that had the heart to stand up and speak up in a way that was impactful (Now that is showing real skill, motivation, and drive). They set me up T, MP, and that so called director to T, but what they got in return is something they never expected! But, they all deserved it! I hope I made this a better place to work for others (Real Leadership)!
Got busy and was off this one for a while. Same Inaction on T's side. I got to know from credible sources within T, that complains on Matt, Tubby and others were opened sometime around mid year last year. 18 months is too long to fix a place - unless, there is more to this and the corruption is too deep. I have also heard there is credible evidence on Matt and the scrum person and his corruption. Some of the people that have been let go also were mired in corruption including Tubby's vacations financed by his vendor DIS. Wonder why it is taking this long for T to take action. This makes me question Angelas leadership. What sort of leader couldn't see through this BS and cleaned house within the first 3 months. It makes me believe she is spineless and is just counting her 3 years to make some money and leave. Being 4th in prepaid might look like a winner, if this were to continue.
@ct5
Looks like Tubby’s people are finally starting to talk. Quite a bit of chatter the last few weeks. A few of ’em are teaming up, and word is they’ve got some pretty solid evidence on our criminal CIO. Could make for an interesting holiday season around here.
More dirt floating around this week — just saw some pics of Matt and his favorite vendor at a game. Looks like it might’ve been from last season based on his hair, but it’s definitely him with that vendor guy who’s always trying to meet with Tiffany and Shailendra. The one that’s always up Matt’s azz. The T employee that shared it with us says he has shown it to his manager. He was not aware of this page until we brought it to his attention. We urged him to go to HR for everyone's sake. This is madness.
@8t0
It’s crazy how much is happening right under everyone’s noses. I honestly can’t believe more people aren’t catching on to what’s going on with Matt. Our team’s pretty sure Kristy’s not around because of this. She’d started speaking up about how unhappy she was with the Haymons setup.
The new CMO seems to be asking some questions now too, which is a good sign. Hopefully he’s talking more with Angela than with Matt. I just don’t get how she doesn’t see where the problem really is, unless she’s completely buying into his smooth talking bullsh-t.
I passed him in the stairwell the other day and was instantly reminded how fake and full of it he is.
@8f4 Embarrassing!
@8am you know one thing - those that used to bully and walk around like they are the greatest technical hot shots around, haven’t been able to land a job yet. Tubby I am sure is applying around, but who would want to deal with his nasty personality and ego. The one that was let go along with him, I heard got a job with huge pay cut. The more recent one - I doubt any one will give her a job. Matt will be in the same situation too. That is amount of incapable people we have got in this organization. No one else would want them for half the price.
Best post in this thread!! There are no truer words.
"I always say bad leadership breeds bad outcomes. The cycle started with our CIO, who supported Tubby, and Tubby in turn created bad leads. The only way to break the cycle is to start at the top and remove them all."
@86z
Let me fix your response again...they removed my last post..."you know who" likes to do that for no reason ...
Tubs is a ex- AVP that was known for constant misconduct that our CIO covered up for too many years to count. Now we want accountability for his actions.
There...fixed it again....
@86y
AVP that was fired for his behavior
Who is Tubby???
@86n
It just gave him a reason to hide behind. He is getting rid of all vendors that are not his preferred Techie M. They su-k a-s so you know the only reason they are around. This sh-t is obvious.
@86n
Forget a vendor, look how he crafted to get rid of his direct reports and even his peer!!! They may have not been perfect, but I damn sure know he is 100% worse!!!!
@86j
I heard how he got rid of the Crystal Eq guy who reported mistreatment...just awful....
@863 You should be careful. Matt has ins in the HR and other departments, he will find out who had the meetings and will go after them. He has done that to employees, contractors, vendors. He walks around like he doesn't have a clue, but is the most conniving, convoluted person. You do what you need to do, but don't need to be putting here. That is the world we live in.
