The main kicker: A relatively small group of old time employees that have gotten themselves ingrained into every avenue of the company with novelty titles and direct lines (often in org charts even) to upper management. This crew wants to change absolutely nothing (from a 20+ year old Windows desktop product) while the company wants to move to the cloud. ...and management continues to listen to them as they fail time over time to do so. Have a differing opinion on implementation/tech/literally anything? Too bad. You will be attacked. Multiple series of layoffs, multiple failures to launch to the cloud, and the CEO is getting himself some huge salary increases.
