The toxic IBM environment exists for several reasons:
1 .Senior management cares mostly about their bonuses and share price (thanks to stock option grants). We don't always believe it and act surprised whenever it's mentioned.
- Senior management wants a "start-up culture" and gets upset when we don't respond to their management decrees that last worked sixty years ago.
- Senior management wants us to accept "global markets". We don't accept that they really mean: work longer for less pay.
- Senior management wants an agile workforce. We don't accept that they want gig employees where you work until you are no longer needed and then quit.
- Our CEO allows all of this to happen.
Kudos @104r1eVb-qdt ! Couldn’t have said it better myself
