I'm bored.... - Whats new?

[OAS]

Once a company starts the death spiral it is next to impossible to stop it. Morale tanks, employees are no longer motivated to make a difference. My last employer enjoyed years of providing superior industry standard IT outsourcing. We used to be empowered with a simple but seldom used philosophy of "do what ever it takes" to satisfy a customer. After an acquisition, former IBM managers came in at top levels and took the position that quality has a price. If a client wants quality, they need to pay for it. The business began to tank almost overnight. Gooch, be prepared for endless restructuring and reorganizations along with downsizing, pay freezes and benefit cuts.
