Less morale, less people, less market share, less competency, less pay and benefits, less Pontiac taxes, less of everything. Lack of communication: where employees actually find out about decisions made after they have been implemented. Indirect communication: sending messages through others. Great job Mikey. Withholding information are we moving to a new building?
Giving misleading information. Everything is peachy says Mikey. But you have a new building. Company’s policies and procedures are not followed, chaos, inconsistency, and poor quality follow. Customers, vendors, and employees wind up hating having to deal with the company and its staff because of the frustration experienced. The hallmark characteristic of a DXC toxic leader is their NARCISSIM. They are “all about” themselves. They view themselves as categorically brighter and more talented than anyone else around. As a result, they believe they are deserving of special treatment–the rules that apply to everyone else really are beneath them. Emotionally, they become more discouraged, which eventually can lead to depression, frustration, constipation and revelation.. For some, they are more irritable, “touchy”, and demonstrate problems managing their anger. Others experience anxiety and a general sense of dread when they think about work.
Finally, you know your work is affecting you negatively when your friends and family start to make comments on “how you’ve changed”, or “you seem stressed” and “maybe you need to talk to someone.” Many of the good people I was in touch with are mum. They don't say a word to connect to past friends. When your personal relationships are impacted, it is time to take a serious look at what is going on.
Work is demanding even at DXC. But some workplaces move beyond the stress that accompanies normal jobs and workloads to being so negative, demanding, and unhealthy, employees eventually begin to ask themselves, “How much longer can I stand this?” For your own good, take a close look and answer the question. Glad i am out of the freaking corporate world. It's cut throat and dangerous with all those backstabbers out to get you. If i do my homework i could invest in a stock and make a gain three times as much as i was paid on a monthly basis. Any finance folks out there should use there god given talents and make a go of it on there own. Wish I done that earlier. GLTA.
I should write a book on all my adventures at EDS, HP, HPE, DXC and the unemployment line.
Excellent post by @Pzn2YQY-xpq, deserved its own thread.
