So all the Big Swinging D!cks got together this past week to figure out how to get rid of more people or whatever and they had a bunch of guest speakers talk leadership to them. Interesting list:
- Andy Jassy - who runs a company notorious for sweatshop practices in the warehouses and highly political PIP and stack ranking culture for management.
- Marissa Meyer who basically took Yahoo out back and shot it after she took over - though granted it was already in deep sh!t but she certainly didn’t help.
- Steve Ballmet. Yes he built a nice arena for the Clippers but MSFT stock took off after he left and his Clippers are implicated in potentially one of the worst NBA salary cap avoidance schemes in decades. Apparently he and Stankey were having a grand old time according to my VP.
And these people were telling our leaders how to lead. Watch out over the next few weeks
