Chances are you have to look above. The regional leader has most of their DSM's and PSS's afraid for their jobs. It is their MO. Intimidate so they can show they are moving people out. Most based on files and false perceptions they have created. Remember, this person was laid off once so they are bound and determined to kiss as much leadership ass as possible to save their own one. Watch them in a regional meeting or zoom call. Would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Very poor leadership skills. So if the DSM has changed their approach recently, know why.
