Tech Risk Management

Problematic leadership from the top down. Lethargic leaders who camp out for years on end without fresh blood. Enabled to push woke agendas, especially in “strategy sessions.” Complete slobberfest between Z and Devo. Big time echo chamber. No wonder people are leaving left and right.

They need some military folks in there ASAP to build team cohesion and team work. It’s simply not there. No one wants to hold up signs with their feelings on them and then made to sit through a video montage of everyone reluctantly obliging with a half smile. And no, that’s not a joke. That’s what one of the strategy sessions were like. Unbelievable.

The tech risk team is a joke. They don't have risk management knowledge.

The calibrations process is so painfully mismanaged and broken, it’s probably one of the top 3 reasons why people leave - it prohibits them from being promoted or impacts their bonus.

Making the leap from Senior Manager to Director is a test of faith. Coming into the company as anything less than a Senior Manager is not worth it. Much better companies out there.

I love how your manager goes into calibrations before they speak with you about what you’ve done for the year. THEN you do your self assessment. Why? It doesn’t make any sense. Do the self assessment first before they go into calibrations so your manager (who sometimes has 30 direct reports) knows what you’ve done. Calibrations are underground kn--e fights where your raise and bonus hinges upon the strength of your manager to fight for you against other stronger personalities. The entire assessment system is worse than the governments.

I have been gone for a few years now, but was a long time employee in IT there. I stop in to read these from time to time. Nothing seems to have changed. I am not sure how much true teamwork you can get from folks if they know that they have to differentiate themselves from their team members. I found it created a really awful environment with a lot of self promotion, backstabbing and grandstanding so as to claim as much glory for promotion, bonus and raises during the never ending performance management cycles. We would be starting the next cycle before we even got the previous cycles results. Just a constant, slow grind. Does the phrase 'the bar has risen so you are going to have to do more' ring true with anybody reading these? If you are doing your level best from the start, that sort of comment does nothing more than just infuriate and wear you out.

That sounds like Woke State Farm organization. Must be the consultant game now calling it management and org development and Risk Mgt. Like them. Most likely Korn Ferry and Deloitte involved
