The company collects tower rent, not develops products that bring revenue. Why does the company have an overhead of people who are always playing politics? Now, the old guard remains in this organization, and others have moved to the perimeter; there is so much organizational and political overhead.

Nepotism runs high in my department. The knowledgeable have left, and the replacements are left to flounder in positions they shouldn’t be in. The rest of us pick up the slack because our boss doesn’t want egg on their face.
Just keep swimming though, I’m sure it’s going to get better…….
Well, we've officially hit an all time low.
One time I was visiting the Houston office and in the bathroom in Houston and heard MM fa-t while taking a number 2 in the stall.
If you need a good laugh today, watch Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Homecoming, it’s so good and got me thinking… when is ‘Madea Goes Corporate’ dropping?
Picture it: Madea storms the C-suite like a boss literally. She starts off ignoring staff, holding calls with unethical silence and no direction, and if anyone dares to speak up? They’re iced out. Madea’s corporate motto? “Feedback is a threat, not a gift’. She plays the politics game hard building her empire one fabricated moment at a time. But then comes the unraveling. The truth surfaces, strategy collapses, and Madea melts down in the break room over a lukewarm latte and a someone telling her she was wrong. That’s when the real story begins. Humbled, she starts over. No title anymore, just tasks. And somewhere between fixing the printer and listening to the people she once silenced, Madea finds her heart and her leadership chops. In the end, Madea Goes Corporate becomes a tale of redemption, humor, and learning that sometimes the real flex is listening and empathy. And a solidly enforced HR policy.
Tyler Perry, if you’re reading this—we need this movie.
People on edge thinking they might be good, then 5 folks not on the list hit me up for LinkedIn recs learning MM really may have reversed the parting gift to us from EC, MM parting agreement. LN’s we need consultants destruction era needs to end, why aren’t they all on lists and how can someone undo a departure like they did?
Spot on. We’ve somehow created a “Strategic Consultant Overhead Department” led by professional politicos whose main outputs are buzzwords and gridlock. Their KPIs? Self-importance and false value, not actual work. Morale is in the gutter, and the financial drain is real. A group that produced nothing in five years of “strategy” has been promoted to senior leadership roles in critical areas they have no business in, making poor decisions and demoralizing staff. It’s a soap opera vs business strategy, turning this page into our tabloid news source because disagreeing with them, inside or outside their org, gets you punished.
