Senior leaders mindset

Senior leaders have a certain mindset:

  • do not consider employees as anything but expendable underlings
  • do not consider employees wellbeing or fair pay
  • company culture must be extremely toxic
  • do not care about the quality of products or services or innovation
  • do not care about the overall company reputation or viability
  • only thing that matters is increasing compensation of senior leadership -no matter the cost or consequence
  • although overwhelming majority of revenue comes from US customers, the US employees do not matter whatsoever
  • if you are based in Mexico or another developing country, you get career advancement in the short term
  • almost a billion dollars must be spent on acquiring AI tools that will replace humans. Better if such procurement also grants kickbacks to senior leadership
  • any remaining humans must be worked to death (ideally) or they must be fired for any reason of your choosing. No empathy allowed.

Anything else to add? Who are the worst leaders?

@2bg I doubt it. They are not high enough to make these decisions.

JB and KS are leading these values.

And racist. Notice the number of black women executives whose roles were all of a sudden “redundant” in 2024.

If share price does not recover this year LCM and SH will both be punted. Hopefully sooner rather than later both terrible.

I’ve never worked somewhere where the field reps have had less respect for senior leadership than in corporates today. When everyone is praying daily that LCM is shown the door, that’s not a good sign. How do you raise quotas so much when no one came close last year?

"although overwhelming majority of revenue comes from US customers, the US employees do not matter whatsoever"
I'm not as fatalistic as the OP, but it is hard to argue with this.
