Our new boss wants to turn our company into a place “people will leave Google for”. Seemingly this vision also includes a really expensive office move, killing off 75% of our product lines, canceling everybody’s bonuses (in some cases 30% of the salary) and firing a person every other week. He repeatedly refers to his “vision” of the company in any kind of conversation without ever defining it.
You can perhaps imagine what kind of effect all of this had on employee morale…
