The stock is down 34% in a year and 65% over five years. Meanwhile, inside the company, we’ve lived through constant restructures: minimal pay rises, responsibility changes, de-levelling, demotions, removal of ratings, mass exits, elimination of People Partners and leader support systems — all under the banner of “transformation.”
Experienced talent keeps leaving. The people who knew how things worked are gone. Morale has taken hit after hit.
At the same time, the company has spent multi-millions over the past three years on external consultants to define strategy and redesign the operating model. As employees, it’s fair to ask: what has that delivered? Because from where we sit, strategy keeps shifting, products are launched with big promises and then fade away, and priorities change before anything has time to succeed.
Now we have a portfolio/solution structure that many are still trying to understand and explain consistently. That lack of clarity shows up with clients.
It feels like the people in the middle — managers, delivery leaders, client teams — are absorbing the impact of decisions made far above them.
This isn’t bitterness. Many of us care deeply about this company and want it to succeed.
But at some point, accountability has to apply at the top too - something should be done - the CEO, CPO, CFO, CCO all need a change in career.
