Take positive steps to improve their technical competence and show some care for the product. Speak up about training needs, overload, and unattainable schedules. Admit when they don’t know how to do something and get the right help.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
First, don’t lie. Second, stop cutting benefits. Third, allow managers to hire salary grades that match the work and responsibility level of the job. Finally, “right-level” those over-promoted employees that are not performing rather than just moving them around.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company has no concern for deep technical competence and treats employees as all interchangeable. Executive management is more focused on selling a program than being able to execute that program. Managers should have to be technically competent in the fields they’re managing.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There needs to be real opportunity for growth. The company is very focused on shifting jobs, but promotions are hard to come by. Even when a very senior person departs, their work is handed to someone two or more salary grades lower, seemingly as a policy. And hiring to reduce overwork is impossible
