IBM

We were allowed to work remotely, but it ended right after the layoffs.

Pay was above average.

Some really good people worked there.

Layoffs. The first month I was there, they laid off 10% of my department. Layoffs continued all year long.

Constant focus changes from C-levels. The CEO and her managers are to blame for this company failing month after month. Twenty-two months of decline; it's obvious it's the upper management that needs to be "laid off".

Management was told to implement mandatory PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans) on N number of people. I saw the email. It is highly unethical.

They accidentally posted their plan on Slack, saying they were outsourcing our jobs overseas, then they said, "Oh, we're not..." Yet, a few months later, they did. They lie directly to the employees.

The new C-level came to the office once. She talked for a full hour on "How her son is doing and how he is the best son ever." Then, five minutes on sales needing to increase by 400%, then told no one what the plan is. After the five minutes, she went back to talking about her son. I wish I was joking. This is not leadership; it is a friends-of-friends network.

Advice to the board: Split the company up; sell the good parts off. Totally clean house on C-levels.

I wouldn't invest in this dysfunctional company if it were a free loan to buy stocks.

Advice to management: Please fire yourselves and do not give yourselves millions on the way out.

Advice to current employees: Have an exit plan ready. They will lay off people at any time, including holidays.
