Advice to Management

Have a clear direction. Listen to the people who worked hard for this company, believing in the core values for so long, instead of new executives who are hired and know very little about GEICO.

There are too many drastic changes, and no one in the company is willing to help others. When they do, they don't have time because of the very harsh deadlines.

No one hears the advice but is instead taking a shot in the dark as a last ray of hope.
