Slack has a serious culture problem especially in the marketing organization that just grinds people down to a pulp and discards them.
Marketing leadership has been allowed to drive the morale down of the marketing team. The marketing organization is a hot bed of opaque transparency, silencing tactics, favoritism, unannounced informal demotions, bullying tactics including just deciding to stop inviting key people to meetings, silent treatment and coverups, poor operational procedure, lack of vision, lack of insight into decision making with with no oversight from our CEO. The culture amp survey scores for the entire org are in material decline, and there is a consistent show of sloppy vision from the top that keeps marketing operations in a state of confusion with constantly blown scopes and massively off track projects, thrashing and things changing every other week. Attrition is bad people who don't get bullied out of the organization are starting to leave on their own accord.
The People Org has watched all of this go on and it continues to happen with seemingly very few alarm bells being rung . The morale of the marketing organization is in serious decline and many key figures have gone missing with very little explanation. Leadership has been allowed to run amuck and people are too paralyzed by unchecked power and are too fearful to disagree because they know the consequences—their careers. There is no recourse for you if you are a victim of leaderships quick disposal of you. Everyone in the organization sees this pattern and it is an open secret.
The marketing organization has been tasked with a lot of meaningful company goals and the insecure, inhumane, bullying tactics are going to be the make or break in the entire team’s success. There are very talented people on the team and talented people have been forced out if they pose a threat or challenge leadership. Making a mistake can ruin your career. At the top of the organization is leadership is only about itself and its career aspirations and it does not care about who it has to step on, ruin or use to get there as long it keeps favor in our CEO's eyes.
