Advice to Senior Management
Reduce ranks of middle management. Stop asking for employee opinions then allowing managers to get back at people who give truthful ones
by A Sabre Employee:
This is precisely what they need to do, along with completely re-tooling processes, methodologies and workflows.
Too many project managers and other middle management types who aren't worth the oxygen they breathe. I swear all they do is plan and conduct meetings. Meetings that suck precious time away from people who actually work for a living, and in which nothing is actually accomplished except horrible decision-making.
With the current round of layoffs, I am hoping the company takes this opportunity to give some of these people the boot.
