Stop the toxic culture, demeaning of people, the constant yelling and passive aggressiveness, starting from the president of Professional Solutions.

Create an environment that lifts people up. Stop the daily MBRs. Employees spend more time preparing presentations to get yelled at instead of doing the job to actually make a difference. The CEO needs to change his toxic demeaning style, and stop giving power do those that share his aggresiveness.

Salaries are below local average, which makes it hard to hire talent, it ends up being imported from Italy. Changes in the stock program reduced value by half, and health benefits are poor. They need to change it all.

Salaries are well beyond the local averages, which makes hard to find talent (it end up getting imported from Italy). The recent changes to stock compensation greatly reduce pay-out and unattainable goals means nobody will get them. Health benefits are very poor. They need to fix it all.

It starts with the President of Professional Solutions. He needs to stop fostering a toxic, demeaning, passive aggressive environment. HR needs to reign him. They witness his constant berating, but the HR head stays silent. HR needs a profound come to Jesus moment.

The partnership with Meta, managed by an unqualified step-son of the late founder, who got the job out of pure nepotism in his twenties, disadvantaged the company. With low margins, the CEO has resorted to aggressiveness to whip out results. The company needs to reassess its vision.
