How are they still here? How do we keep losing valuable employees and these leeches remain every single time? Is there nobody who can do something about this? It makes me so mad to know we have to do the work of several people while they do nothing all day and know they're safe.

I think you can safely say any manager and above in Marketing is low value. We don’t have anything to market and when we did, they blew it.
As part of the "low value-add" crowd ... is CT still in Marketing?
Speaking of worthless brown nosers, is there a VP in Finance called AR that is still there? Her staff used to stop what they were doing just to laugh at her calls with senior sales.
200k is an understatement. I was walked out on the plank six years ago. As a C Band employee I was making $215k base plus up to a 40% bonus. They are smiling at you during a review. They are cleaning house while giving out 2% raises if you are lucky.
I’d gush about these worthless execs too if I was making $200K and wanted to stay on that gravy train.
Oh yeah the brown nosing on Linkedin is very sad. It's the usual names that think by gushing over someone's promotion that somehow they'll keep their jobs. Just look at the brown nosers on MW's post recently or even RP's. They gush over someone totally unqualified for the role. It's very sad indeed.
How? By being obsequious sycophants. Just read the gushing praise from directors and low level VP’s on LI whenever someone above them is promoted.

Directors and above are generally worthless. It will be good to see them in the unemployment line.
They provide value to themselves and each other by getting each other promoted. Once promoted to a director or higher at TD, it's easy to move to the same position at another company. You may have noticed a lot of TD managers do just that shortly after a promotion.
I was a C Band Manager. 80% of them do nothing but kiss b**t. The rest are participants in the never ending Layoff’s. I was part of the 20%.
Agreed with the sentiment of the pre-sales leadership. In my region it is just terrible and we lost a highly experienced team member this week. Decades experience on the tech and the perfect person to put in front of the technical base of a customer. Meanwhile those above him are just management jockeys who brown nose upwards. They're not respected and just sit there and try to tell the SE community on how to sell when they've never done a deal in their life.
I for one am really impressed and feel supported by my sales tech management all the way up the chain. Go ahead and downvote me. But just telling the truth.
I blame you all; What did you all do other than complain and collect paycheck.
Ah the old Nepotism & good old boys club. So top heavy!!! It’s funny when some of them do get shown the door where they end up and what role. I know of tenured “Senior Managing Partners” who landed with an Architect title (!!!). I guess when you blow hot air all day and are out of touch with technology you get what’s coming for you when you have to go into the job market. And you still landed a job where you don’t actually have to deliver anything… I kind of see a pattern here ;)
The Solution Engineering Presales and CSM managers are the worst. CSM org hired cheap non experienced CSMs who actually on calls and customer interaction did more to create issues than they resolved....when they showed up. Zero training, Zero enterprise experience and comments that showed they knew nothing of the products or the value. The worst are the Pre- sales managers with there 20 year plus tenure...who pick their favorites and do nothing to change the playing field. When the Halloween Massacre occurred they claimed no involvement. CH, CG, JW, TG, SF....GH who has done nothing and many more. I wish when my upper management asked for my input on my direct manager I was truthful and didn't hold back. But I kept my mputh shut...big mistake knowing what I know now.
Managers don’t fire themselves
