TD's senior leadership is incompetent, and praise does tend to go to yes-men and cheerleaders (Example: there was a Yammer thread that lasted for THREE WEEKS, praising a secretary for bringing in a candy basket for "critical staff", while NEVER naming the actual CRITICAL STAFF who have been risking their lives and family's lives to keep TD running).
The ELT has one product, which they cannot turn into a success. Most of them have NEVER worked in IT, and from the PMs on down-- know nothing about the systems, current challenges, or what is involved in any of the many ask's that come down from them. The responsibility of "success" or "failure" is pushed all the way downstream onto the implementers (engineers), who are tasked with the job of making 2 + 2 = 5.
I don't have a lot of confidence about the long-term future of this company. The IBM outsource does not help with these projections.
That said, the folks who are allergic to "woke culture"-- BETTER GET USED TO IT. Most global employers are moving leftward, and that is a trend that is likely to continue indefinitely as a result of 1/6/21.
Not the place for a political discussion-- but I've worked under competent and incompetent senior leadership, both "woke" and non-woke. Political leanings, do not determine success. Having COMPLETENT LEADERSHIP, regardless of political affiliation, is what determines if your company sinks or swims.
