This brilliant feedback was copied from another post and must be elevated here:
In alignment with MW’s directive to “stop being nice to each other,” I think we can all agree on this upward feedback: you are running this company into the ground with your blatant lack of accountability for your actions and those of your ELT. You are a one trick pony who exhibits embarrassingly limited range of strategic thinking, as reflected by your dismal results against the competition, all while exercising the same rinse and repeat layoff & reorg actions that simply shuffle around the same inept managers, drive away technical SMEs we need, and continuously chip away at all the attributes that made this a great place to work. Your workforce despises you and has no respect for you. Let that sink in. You can have all the millions in the world, but when you finally retire and leave this place even more in tatters, and you hop off to your golf game at the country club, you will still know, deep down, what a failure you are, not only as a “leader,” but as a human being. You, sir, have become morally bankrupt, and the harm you have caused to thousands of employees cannot be undone. There is a way to lead with authority that gets results and does not require one to debase himself to your conduct. You have completely lost your way in your quest to be number one because you so obviously do not grasp what makes a great leader who can actually motivate the workforce and galvanize us to greatness. Your “bark” now is totally ineffective because you have lost all credibility, and none of us believes you have what it takes to deliver. Even the WSJ cartoonist understood what a hollow, shallow, shadow of a man you are and depicted you as a weakling, a skinny big-guy wannabe; truly embarrassing. You’re like that great commercial: where’s the beef? All hot air and no substance.
Well, now that I have provided this unfiltered feedback I do see the benefit of getting mean and saying the “hard thruths.” I just saved myself $150 for therapy (not that I could get approved for it, now that you are laying off those poor ba----ds in EAP).
