The damage caused by the Stinky 8/1/25 email can never be undone.
For most employees, the message was loud and clear: your concerns don’t matter. Your feedback doesn’t matter. Your time, family, commute, and quality of life don’t matter.
Whether Stink intended that message or not, that’s exactly how it was received. Totally thoughtless, inconsiderate, unstable, emotionally charged, and power drunk.
The result of Stinks decisions and policies has been years of declining morale, disengagement, frustration, and a workforce that feels increasingly disconnected from the people making the decisions.
Now another survey is coming up.
Don’t forget how Stink responded the last time employees spoke honestly. The reaction said more than the survey results ever could. We now know he’s totally unstable and a loose cannon.
If you believe trust has been damaged, say it.
If you believe the culture has deteriorated, say it.
If you believe rigid policies are driving away good people and hurting engagement, say it.
This is one of the few chances employees have to be heard. Use it.
