It turns people who once cared about their work into people who just watch the clock

@kw I am seeing this as well, especially the moving goalposts.
In my review, not a single word was said about anything related to my job title, but most feedback was that I need to be more accountable holding other teams to their tasks and responsibilities. I am an IC. Let me tell you how motivating feedback (and associated performance reviews/AIP consequences) like that is.
I have seen this happen to the team members in one of the product VP’s team. Berates people openly, goals keep moving, no useful feedback in 1:1 but in connect, suddenly there’s a barrage of items to improve. His team is really burnt out / frustrated and many have started looking for options.
I am in engineering so I work closely with his team and some of them are good friends for a while. It’s sad to see what’s happening here for this team and I am preparing for such a scenario in my team as well. Lined up a couple of interviews already and hoping to move on from here.
@fs that's why I'm convinced it's actually SM. All the clues add up.
@fg poor little guy. He lives in a fantasy world where he is the smartest guy in the room and people think he matters. He’s really rather pathetic.
@c9 We recognized you, super-engineer aka "IHeartVantage". Stop asking people "what they bring to the table". You're the only one using this idiom on this board. So we know it's you. No need to hide.
@c9 It’s an enthusiasm ki-ler because it allows useless sycophants like you to remain on board to poison the culture, Super-Engineer. But you will soon be shown the door with that attitude.
@OP you think Teradata is an enthusiasm ki-ler but you haven't explained what you bring to the table or why Teradata did anything wrong. You are the problem put down your iPad and get back to work or sit back and take a package. Stop whining like a child
Turns out when you lay off half the company, dont give CoL increases, decrease or withdraw bonus despite claiming its funded 100%, chase buzzwords with no strategy behind it, refuse to make things easier to do business, hold people accountable for doing jobs that arent in their description, amongst other complaints, people stop caring about their work and going the extra mile.
Who wouldve ever guessed.
Wait, you mean calling it an "annual incentive plan", have the CEO brag that it's 100% funded, and then not give a number of people 100%, or he-l not giving them anything, isn't the way to drive enthusiasm?
Oh, and at the same time not give any raises in order to bring in external people (and probably overpay for them).
I am shocked.
