How would you react when a new leader takes a global role and demands everyone send him an email directly about "if you were the president of the company"? This person proved multiple times to be a bully to previous employees and insulting to staff in front of large groups.
Do you respond and blow smoke not giving a honest answer?
Or respond honestly but then worry about retaliation?
Or just ignore knowing he is checking names off a list if responses he received (yes, that's true)?
I can't job hunt fast enough!
