Could you imagine what would happen if someone took Mike up on his offer to call him with feedback?
“Umm, we haven’t been responding immediately to customers rfis etc. bc we’re severely understaffed and have been working 60 hours a week for 6 months to just get releases out the door, so you’re really just asking us to work 70 and 80 hours a week.”
Recalibrating is not “hey let’s Really focus, people “ lol
And all the svp and vp henchmen would love to know who calls to know who to layoff.

@ht YES!! SCREAM THIS LOUDER SO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK CAN HEAR!
Omaha has some of the worst leadership I've had the displeasure to interact with. Completely disconnected, arrogant, and not a single brain cell to share between them all. Omaha has been nothing but a honeypot job where management has been protecting their own thru advancements. One director messes up a team, they leave to a different division and the cycle continues. They don't backfill roles, tenured employees get laid off, and then at the end of the year they sit there on their thumbs scratching their heads saying "why can't we find top talent in Omaha?"
Its because you chased it away. Omaha's not that big. Word gets around.
@e6 he truly didn’t mean it or he wouldn’t be allowing his awful Omaha leadership team to continue. They are not knowledgeable about our business unit and make poor decisions daily. The ax has been swinging in the wrong direction.
@OP If I was Mike I would hang up immediately. He would not want to speak with a dead bird.
@ee the message was sent because you people are lazy and not calling clients
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i had to get outta there. you lazy whiny wind bags are too much to handle
He might pick up the phone and ask "Hello?", or it would go to voicemail and you would hang up.
Case closed.
I hope somebody does, the mess Frank made this place needs to be hammered home
It did seem like a very strange email lacking any real substance
I think the intentions were good but I would have thought it would have been more appropriate to be telling people how they were helping support us more, not just saying they were, so pick up the phone to clients more. Like people weren't already or were just sitting around doing nothing
Gelb said that if we let good people go, we should get them back. I had quite a few people, including clients, pushing for my return. It didn't matter.
Hey Mike….The soap is being watered down, the Indians are taking over, the buildings smell like curry and beans. The stock price su-ks, we are overworked.
After the worthless emails that look like chat GPT output for prompt “write a gung-ho email to make people work a lot more and not get paid for it. Add some stuff like extreme customer focus and other business cliches” , I don’t have much hope in the new management
I am sure he knows the problems the turn over rate in certain BUs/dept should be a huge give away
He would tell us to figure it out and fix it
@ac you act like everyone on this board is an active employee...
@a7 his email is the same format as yours genius
Put together a thoughtful and objective email and send it to him.
@OP gimme his number. I've got nothing to lose
