Constantly complaining about your manager? Be the leader you wish you had for those around you. Peers. Your reports. Your manager. Change starts with you.

@OP, are you for real?
We all know both HR and PG&A read the layoff posts. The OP sounds like one of them.
Still vividily remember the survey's that was sent out, external company involved and all, and an uniform concenous to push for change of performance evaluation process. Promises were made. We now changed from Q1-5 to 5 English worded categories. Love it
I think this is the chick that replies to her own posts. Move along…
@OP - what a glib, trite statement to come out with. You might as well say “be the change you want to see”, or “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for”.
Nothing is going to change unless it changes from the top. Nothing’s going to change until they stop rewarding “potential” rather than results. Nothing’s going to change. Period.
I'm with OP on this one, would not be too bad if such thinking being the new Kool-aid. Hard to see transformative change coming another way.
Are you sure? @OP sounds like my old boss in Annandale. His reward for total incompetence? Promotion but no direct reports. His stink still emanates whenever he visits from Houston.
Means nothing when (opaque) kpis are set. What a naive post. Inner regulation never works and only leads to corruption. Very XOM.
Responses are the problem. If you aren’t even willing to try make things better then how will it ever get better? The not my job mentality to improving things is pathetic. Bunch of whiners and complainers unwilling to take any action.
EM has the worst work culture by far of any companies I worked for in my 30+ year career. If you want to see models of good leadership and examples of highly functioning teams, go elsewhere.
Yep, exactly what I did… stepped up and led because all the competent managers had retired / left the building. All that hard work and “stepping out” got me PIP’d.
Best advice is stay invisible. Do your job, keep quiet. The meek shall inherit the earth.
Yeah someone tried that and they still got PIP. Now we have a brown noser who doesn't know anything. Leading us straight to the dumpsters
Great advice clown
What kind of naive garbage is this? You can be the most well intentioned... Go look how your predecessors in the company were treated. They wanted the best for the company and were eventually shown the door... Including the execs. Until top mgmt changes, change at the bottom is meaningless.
@OP be the leader like yourself that has his head so far up the bosses a$$ that he can't think or see straight.
No words exist to describe this waste of data bytes.
Be the guy who keeps posting the same cr-p on this discussion board over and over again. Be that change.
