This company’s corporate culture is slowly destroying it from within. An entrenched group of managers who’ve spent their entire working life in this company acts as a block against any attempt to bring change to the organization. Newcomers at any level are viewed with suspicion and any idea they bring with them from the outside is treated with a mixture of fear and contempt. The old guard and their cronies treat everyone who is not one of them with disrespect. True, in many companies the boss would yell at you, too, but at Fujitsu they’d yell at you in front of other people, even your own reports. In other companies someone might send you a nasty email, too, but at Fujitsu they’ll make sure to CC as many people as they can to show how powerful they are. This unprofessional behavior demotivates and demoralizes people at all levels of the organization.
This is a very unpleasant environment to work at, where senior management’s idea of leadership is throwing a tantrum every time a goal is not reached or a sale falls through, without ever professionally analyzing what is the cause for this; without even listening to either their reports or the clients. There is an unofficial hierarchy among the old guard where they report “offenders” to each other so if you rub one of them the wrong way, even if that person is not in your department, they’ll find a way to get your boss to give you a hard time. If you are a self-respecting professional, your place is not there.
