I overheard a meeting conducted by the C-suite of my husband’s company this morning which completely reenforced my ill faith in today’s “leadership”. The first item on the agenda was telling people how quickly they were going to force everyone back into the office (by the end of May). From there they went on to explain how this pandemic has affected different types of businesses. Most of which was common sense, but then they classified themselves as an accounting firm. That isn’t true. They are a software company that writes programs for accounting firms. That’s a BIG difference.
Now, I understand that there is a lot of pressure running a company, but to run one, shouldn’t you at least understand what that company does? Seriously! No wonder these guys keep making such monumentally outdated and detrimental decisions for a software company! They don’t even think it is a software company!
After firing several people during this pandemic recession because the company did not reach there goal growth, the C-suite reported in this meeting that the company is doing very well. It made me want to angrily scream, “no, the numbers show you the illusion of doing well because you just fired a bunch of people!”
This company is just an example of how most American companies work. There is no focus on the future. No one cares about true stability. No one wants a quality product that actually fills a need. All these people are concerned about is whether the numbers in the book…right now…show a profit. In this case, it doesn’t even matter if the people leading the company even know what the company really does. How sad.
