They let you stay after costing them millions in revenue then? Doesn't sound like the worst leadership to me?

- idle_zealot 2y agoIt sounds like they know they fucked up, but blamed their employee to avoid taking responsibility. Whether or not they chose to terminate the scapegoat is irrelevant to determining that they're bad leaders.
- BoorishBears 2y agoOh please. It's shared blame, not no blame. The provess needs to improve but the query didn't run itself, leaving the person in their position but giving them what sounds like a light chewing out isn't a sign of bad leadership.
- viridian 2y agoI think the correct thing to do no matter the scale of the fuck up is you, as the person doing the confronting, admit to what you did wrong that led to this outcome, as well as addressing what they did. They didn't do that, and they threw around "you" a lot at an "us" problem. That's bad leadership. Leading by example means readily admitting to your own faults and acknowledging that the team has a shared responsibility for outcomes.
- hinkley 2y agoBlaming the employee means you can emotionally extort them for the rest of their tenure and use them to balance out the raise pool.
- latexr 2y agoThey “let you stay” after saying to your face you’ve done “a monumental fuck up” and are “lucky to still be [there]”. That is shit leadership. It reveals they will hold a grudge about that event which the employee won’t ever live down and is likely to impair their growth in the company. After that event one should start looking for a new job.
