Looks like you guys need a referee! I fall somewhere between the two camps, the Wes haters and the Wes supporters. First of all I’m going to estimate from looking at the wording of the posts there are about 4 anti Wes people posting and about 2 pro Wes people posting (Wes plus one rep).A for the substance of the allegations and compliments, in contrast to the F given by the anti Wes people and the A by his supporters, I’d rate him a grade of C.
Wes is experienced and serious about his job, driven to be successful, and pushes his people to do well. On the other hand, he is often rude and insensitive and that can hurt sales, morale, and undercuts any success his other qualities can bring. I like Wes overall and would say at his core he means well. But boy could he use some coaching and polishing. He should seek constructive feedback from all on his team and make a genuine effort to be a good manager. I know most on his team think he’s a lost cause, but I believe in giving people a chance. And I think Wes should be given a chance.
