Bloomberg reviews

* stack ranking to evaluate employees, need to spend time to “build” story/profile of yourself amongst management to be liked. At the end of the day, it’s not only about the revenues you bring in * pretence of being compassionate, putting up a facade during covid, regular sending of items to home to “motivate” you to work - including food, diy plant, cookies, mooncakes, teabags, high tea set, cap * very powerful CRM to track your productivity, esp during covid, mgmt have to find ways to make sure you are not skiving. Need to write all the client engagements in categories of spoke, visit, demo of your client engagements. Came out with a ridiculous number of 160 during covid to track you. Procured all sorts of video conferencing tools, we have zoom, teams, Webex, Google meet, measure the duration of your client engagements * endless number of global townhalls during pandemic. Mgmt kept telling you how great of a job the whole firm is doing * middle mgmt who is not compassionate and just messenger, untactful way of mgmt. curt mgmt style by middle mgmt * boast mobility across offices. During covid, for the Singapore office, relocated at least 5 Indian Nationals and above to take up managerial positions which can otherwise be taken up by locals. Started with apac sales mgr (Indian National) who relocated from Hk to Singapore, and started to see a trend of sales mgr bringing in his own people to spread across various depts * big boss who kept changing his mind whether to run presidency, and ran in the end, spent loads of money on campaign (well his own money right - and where does his money come from you wonder?). Dropped out in the end, and supported Biden in endless campaign advertorials, while mgmt within the company kept pushing own guys to keep bringing in revenue, burnt so much money during presidency campaign * rigid way of running the business, small deals are peanuts in mgmt’s eyes (don’t ever believe them when they say a save of removal terminal is as good as a sale)
