Bye bye Sumitomo





It is too late to separate these companies back out so that the company that is dragging us all down could pay the consequences for their lack of long range plan on their own?
 




























Months ago company told us to block out week in June for NSM. Come on man I need to plan my summer vacation. Is it on or off? WTF

again, plan your vacation and take a vacation. No NSM with any company is worth missing time with your family. Every NSM with every company is virtually the same. You will get a marketing overview, you will get a pipeline overview (we don’t have one) you will get a glorious opportunity to meet with your teammates who you likely won’t see again at a meeting. There might be a motivational speaker for the sales team however, it will be something you have heard before. You will get a new catch phrase for the year. Maybe we wil get lucky and it will be legit like ‘embrace the suck’ 2024. Seriously don’t put your life on hold for what is likely a version of ground hog day.
 
















Good luck with that buddy. You obviously have not been in attendance at any of this companies NSMs. Slim pickings few and far between is putting it very nicely.
Absolutely not the place to be if eye candy is your goal. The female talent pool is well below industry standards. Perhaps it’s the worst of the worst.
 




















Not that disappointed and I’m OK to be moving on. Those who remain will be living by the quarter-to-quarter revenue number and who wants that axe hanging over your neck every day. Time to find more stable waters, and they are out there, and it’s just a part of the journey.
