Like people who are doers at a working-class level, and engineers.

The Palo Alto office is only hiring their relatives and friends who have no knowledge in the areas of expertise of technologies. This reflects old-school thinking.

On one hand, leadership says business projections are on track; on another, they say quality is bad. There is no direct correlation.

Please, leaders, stop providing fat data that is meaningless and that no one captures in software delivery for cloud tech stacks.

There is a lack of leadership.

Anyone questioning the status quo gets into bad politics. Many smart people left or were laid off because they spoke up to make improvements or challenge old-school thoughts.

Very bad leaders create a hostile environment where you cannot say anything. You lose your brightness and abilities working with dumb, old-school thoughts. You work long hours, literally seven days a week, for releases that are meaningless.

They are bringing in contractors without interviews or knowledge. It looks like some personal scam is going on, where management is making money and keeping it in their pockets.

Some ethnic issues are going on. Talk to any doers; they all feel this. Fix these gaps with a modern work culture.

Review your compliance hiring practices; review the work environment and your development practices.

Review contracts for third parties for unethical practices.

Review any unfair working hour conditions.
