The executive team is protective of each other, which is not unusual in corporate America, but disturbingly protective of some bad apples in the ranks. One VP in particular, I've been unfortunate enough to work under for 2 years, and despite reporting multiple incidents to HR and the C-suite over the course of those 2 years, and knowing that multiple other leaders (most of them female) have also reported incidents, NO ACTION has been taken, except to give this VP (male) more power and more teams. Meanwhile, his entire high-performing team has turned over in the last year due to the toxic environment he has created, but HR and C-suite still choose to turn a blind eye. If you get stuck under such a leader, good luck to you. The exec team will choose the leader over you, no matter how high-performing your track record or how long your tenure.
