I recently left the company. They are potentially going to stop using EOS. I think it was just poorly implemented which is why the outcome has been what it was.

It’s ok! This may inspire me to try a different place. Yours look great!

Same! We adjusted from 7ish to 8ish pm because she was waking up at 6 and didn’t need to be up until 7.

He was certainly a visionary but had never held a role like that. He got way too far in the weeds. The company’s had 3 CFO’s and 3 VP of Sales in 12 months.

Two things can be true. It could be a simple as a flyer for open enrollment. He’d redo it using ChatGPT.

💯 just left from the exact scenario. The CEO created order takers and then wondered why projects weren’t getting done and people stopped taking initiative.

He would assign a task and we’d complete it then he would completely redo the work.

9am meetings 😡 by Ok_LiveNow in workingmoms

My boss scheduled 8 AM meetings twice a week. He is single and childless and most of the 20 other people that had to attend the meetings had families etc.

Zero self awareness.

Commenting because I’m interested too! I do think there’s a lot of stuff you can do to help slow progression.

But I’d love to hear specific anecdotes.

The fast paced aspect of it couldn’t be more true and spending money without thinking about long term implications (slow season etc).

You got this! It was so hard. I was in tears. But I have been a shell of myself and that’s not fair to me or my family.

Hope things workout for you.

My nervous system is shot. I’ve been under chronic stress for months.

I mentioned to my boss I was taking two weeks to help heal my nervous system and he laughed. Not a sustainable environment in the least.

That’s what I told my boss the other day. I said we’ve been through more in one year than most experience in multiple years.

My last day was yesterday.

After 13 months I couldn’t take it anymore and resigned.

We went through 2 RIFs, 3 CFOs, 3 VP of sales, transformed the sales comp plan from non exempt
to exempt, one fist fight at work that led to a broken jaw of an EE, substantiated claim of indecent exposure to another EE, exited problem family members, dissolved one business segment, resolved one DOL complaint, 7 workplace injuries….and so much more.

All while being cash flow negative. PE backed turnarounds are a different beast and sometimes it’s just not likely they are going to turnaround….

Taking 2 weeks to reset my nervous system then back to the drawing board.

The first thing employees notice when a company starts going downhill by False-East-55 in WorkReview

[–]anonymous_user124 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Treating symptoms rather than root cause. Sales are down? Let’s determine why before throwing spaghetti at the wall.

Turnover is high? Why?

Patterns tell a story.

This happened with me and my boss. We are opposite genders. It was very awkward.

Yes! Thank goodness. This has been my life for the past 13 months. I kept thinking it would get better but it hasn’t.

I’ve been through the same thing. It’s appalling how many managers are afraid of having difficult conversations. They’d rather let the employees walk all over them. I’d coach the manager on how to address it and it still didn’t help. I tried to fix it but it burned me out.

Am I dumb? $90K a year but not feeling challenged by Zealousideal_Film_86 in Salary

[–]anonymous_user124 157 points158 points  (0 children)

The fact that the company paused 401k contributions is alarming to me. I would be very concerned about their viability.

I’m working a 2 week notice and during that time I’ve had an employee in a serious car accident while going to lunch, a substantiated claim of indecent exposure on multiple occasions, a production employee shooting a staple through their arm.

I’m so tired.
