Toxic favoritism undermines competent work efforts

Business Outlook
Pros
- some of middle managers are good but are unfortunately stuck constantly cleaning up the executive teams mess
Cons
- chief of staff more like glorified CEO brown noser - head of product has no idea what’s going on - ultimately the biggest problem here though is there are no consequences: incompetent work doesnt get challenged, competent work doesn’t get rewarded. A select group of favorites can do whatever they want. Even the president who made the most inept judgement calls and had poor management got away with a $20 million golden parachute. Nothing matters unless you are best friends with the CEO. Deliver exceptional work? You’ll get a big THANK YOU! But don’t except a bonus, promotion or salary bump. They really don’t care.
