Well mine was easy. I felt right after March 15th of last year when because Alcon has cooked the books during 2020 pandemic to make it not look so bad. (It was a must cook the books for investors) they paid out for 2021 a 1.34 multiplier yearly bonus. Well on that March 15th I knew I wouldn’t be at Alcon on the next March 15th that is for damn sure. I already had been clearly over 200k with salary, bonus, and expenses for two years prior.
then I started to see the micro managing. The favoring of far less salaried, less experienced. Then the complete back stab of support to growth.
so the writing was all over the wall. Got out last year.
the one thing you can guarantee about Alcon they can’t hide things real well. They show their cards real easily. Especially by taking under qualified people and making them leaders. They have no experience trying to be enforcers so you read right throughout.
Grateful to Alcon it was a highly paid do nothing job. A sabbatical of sorts in gardening until a real opportunity arrived.
Alcon still has more fluff in certain departments that try and take credit through their supposed support of sales. They offer minimal compared to their department expense. Minimal!!
