Leaders and those coordinating this event are associates and humans too. I am appalled at the ridicule, sarcasm, and unprofessional behavior that transpired in the chat. There is a ton of effort that goes into a town hall forum in the spirit of keeping teams informed. It’s not an easy task given the size and complexity of the organization. The way you show up everyday, including these events, is a reflection of your character. When you make the choice to criticize those being vulnerable enough to be on these panels, you create a culture where others are reluctant to show up and be their true selves. Will our talented, high-achievers be willing to put themselves out there next time to highlight their work? Doubtful. Was there background noise? (Alleged gum chewing) maybe. Did it truly matter in the messaging and intent. NO! Do better. Humanize our teammates, focus on celebrating our collective accomplishments in this org ,and look forward. Don’t be surprised if chats get shut down in the future. You brought this upon yourselves.
Looks like a sale is on the horizon
Blah blah blah and lots of buzzwords
