Thank you for your review – you are right we do have some incredible technical staff.
I would like to take the time to address the other areas you raise as well.
We have heads of department for each area (Operational, Finance, Sales) – hardly a plethora of management within our teams, but we do have inter-team leads which works really well for things like support and account management as well as your area, development. Also some great people in this mix – we are so fortunate as a company.
It has been a bit of a strange 1-2 years in terms of Covid. Firstly, nobody has been in office, so some of the in-office and other perks have not been possible. I am sure we are not alone in this. We are greatly hoping that 2022 will be a different year in terms of what we can all do. We have during this time supported our team and ensured the health and safety of everybody as priority #1.
To both of these points, if you read the press you will know we have been acquired by MRI Software this year. We are very much looking forward to being part of a larger software organization and the changes and benefits this will bring. Exciting times ahead indeed.
And so onto your point of me as the rude and arrogant CEO. I would really love to address this and I’m so sad I have to do it here with an anonymous post that is being hidden behind.
You know, being arrogant is when you think you are superior to those around you. I am so fortunate to surround myself with people that do their jobs better than I would be able to in their respective areas (a great tip for achieving success in a company!) – I can hardly be arrogant with the talent that surrounds me daily. And I would certainly never be, or allow others to be rude to each other. Goodness, some of our team, I have worked with for nearly 20 years – we are friends as well as colleagues. Because we have mutual respect for each other and getting the job done.
It really does take a team and everybody in the team plays a key role. I believe and hope that we in management, and I personally, at all times, do our very best to take care of all our staff – supporting them when they have personal issues at home, guiding their growth, always offering an “open door” to help if there are any concerns (we can’t fix it if you don’t tell us). So I’m sorry you felt this way when you left. And even sorrier that you thought social media was the best way to address it, rather than sharing feedback in your exit interview, or talking with me openly – which I always invite.
Wishing you best of luck in your new role and no hard feelings – from your rude and arrogant (ex 😉) CEO!
