Bad management - Anonymous employee WebMD Health Employee Review

I worked at Webmd for many years. I've witnessed more disgusting office politics and bullying then I've ever experienced. There's the normal, "get in good with the right person and your career there will fly" then there's the additional "two faced, liers and cheaters willing to do anything to get ahead and as little work as possible that actually helps the department as a whole" but the worst is when a weak management team blindly praises and promotes them. Perception does seem to be everything there, not hard work, not the truth but the best story. I've watched 4 CEOs (this is public record, see for yourself), 3 HR teams and 4 directors and 3 VP's of the department I worked in go by. With each team the politics got worse and worse, the liers and cheaters became more emboldened, no one bothered to look into what was really going on. If office politics is one of your strengths, this is the place for you. My suggestion would be to do as little work as possible saving your time for campaigning and chatting up your superiors about your coworkers, that is what they seem to respond and you will see many promotions.
