Kontras
COO and CEO are all about their EGO. They are looking for people to report to them that are "Yes" men and women. I was pushed out unfairly and then treated horribly. I have many emails from the CEO about my exceptional performance and skills. Yet I was pushed out because I didn't say "yes" all the time and had my own ideas. When I first started the Information Technology departments and their software was a mess, I transformed 7 departments in two years. Then all my credibility was instantly taken away by Dave the COO when the CEO forced me to report to him when he was my team mate. In fact when I started Dave was an EVP and I was the only other C level and I reported to the CEO. The COO and CEO over-promise to the clients and the employees are left with the mess and trying to deliver by being overworked.
