You tell me. You’re one of the 800 not performing well so now someone has to review your work and join your team meeting. |
Yes, 800 employees not performing well all at the same time. You are absolutely clueless. How can it possibly be terrible leader at the helm? Clearly 800 people must be bad at their job. You sound like a horrific boss. |
You can keep repeating I’m a terrible boss but I’m not the poor performer that is now being micromanaged. Maybe spend more time on improving your performance at work instead of complaining here. |
Even in organizations where the new senior leader thinks a lot needs to change, they typically hire their team who they trust to carry out their plans. One person cannot monitor hundreds of peoples' work. |
You’re here on DCUM all the time trying to blame your new boss who has mtgs during office hours, so there’s that! I’m watching basketball practice right now on PTO. |
WTF? Sounds like a bunch of spoilt, entitled whiners. Lemme guess, taxpayers pay their salary and benefits? |
Trust people who leave the office before 3pm and drive like maniacs with kids in their car? Ok…. Childcare. Get some. |
I’d audit the lunch situation too. |
Everyone in Washington DC and the DMV does. $20 an hour so you don’t get fired from your day job. |
Is this OP? Is this an example of your professionalism and work product? No wonder it’s under review. That and your time cards, key cards and parking lot cards. |
4 pm doesn’t sound that crazy of a time for a meeting. You sound spoiled and entitled. Meeting times may have to change to support a business and its needs. Would you want to run an organization where a 4 PM meeting isn’t an option?

To the larger point, it seems to me that the individuals I see getting promoted and/or hired into leadership positions are being selected less on competency and more on commitment to the organization. More of the workaholics/“married to the job” types vs the high performers/strategic thinkers/likable consensus-builders…and the workaholics are really, really, especially terrible at leading organizations. They can’t delegate, they lack big picture thinking, they just demand more time and effort, with no payoff. |
HOW IS 4PM 'LATE'? and what did i do wrong in my life that this is shocking to me? I mean granted many here are 'feds' and I am in advertising so in our world if you said 7 or 7.30 this would make sense. But 4??? what time do you start, 7? |
You sound like a clueless boomer. I know for a fact that major corporations in this area have set core hours and people leave all the time at 3 PM if they come in early or finish the rest of their hours at home. Major tech companies, for example, have very flexible hours for their staff. Get with the times boomer. If you and your company has flexible hours written into the company's own policy, you can't reneg on the policy independently at the last minute and throw chaos in everyone's working life. |
My DH is at work before 6am. The garage is half-full. If he arrives after 630 its full. 4pm is the start of a 9.5 hour day for him. Not everyone gets a spin class and latte before starting work Ken. |
