Be careful what you say! - Recensione dipendente - Vice President presso GlobalFoundries

Beginning with the Board and the Investor and then senior management, all are much more concerned with covering their butts than making decisions. The board's only job is to agree with the Investor (the government of Abu Dhabi) - I think it is in the job description - telling them how wonderful and smart they are. There is no concern about the company or the employees. They are only concerned with retaining their $300K a year positions, where they get to fly first class (yes, First while all employees fly economy) between New York, Singapore and California and enjoying life. Why make waves, why tell the Investor the truth? They only want to be told what they want to hear. Senior management is terrified of speaking the truth to the Investor or they will be fired. I personally know senior executives that have been fired for expressing a dissenting opinion or trying to tell the truth to employees. Which is understandable when you see the way Abu Dhabi looks at free speech. The Investor spends millions on McKinsey to justify bad decision making and McKinsey laughs all the way to the bank, because the whole idea of Globalfoundries came from them.
