Advice to Senior Management

Micro-managing will not lead to employee productivity, it will only lead to low employee morale and undue pressure for its workers. We are capable individuals who understand what is expected of us, and we don't need to be reminded of that constantly, it only annoys us and irritates us.

- My manager shouldn't have ever been hired to manage people. But she would have been amazing at managing just a process
- Compared to other companies, CIBC doesn't pay very well for annual salar, even though they continually tell you how lucky you are to get paid "so much"
