Once upon a time, a great company hired a new executive... and it went downhill from there - AE Gong Employee Review

Hiring a new executive is like getting married. Hiring a new executive when the business was at triple-digit growth is like getting married in your prime age. Some red flags Gong failed to notice/act on early on. - Demands a noble title (or two) - Brings people from their previous company/network who don't execute (and rule from behind the desk) - Cries at company all hands. Cries at company events. Cries at company all hands again. - Yells at their teams - Favors people who say nothing but Yes to them Now Gong is finally rewinding the damages done in the last 1+ years. But the timing is inconvenient with the looming economic uncertainty. And repairing the damage to the culture could take a long time.
