Old managers or old senior colleagues are the most un ethical people I have seen in my entire career. Creating own lobby, groupism , favouring people is just normal day to day thing for them.
Zero transparency
Lack of leadership
If someone leaves the company working for 2-3 years under a manager. They won’t even give you proper goodbye. They will start torturing you the day you will resign.
Honestly I have seen people coming from 6 months of maternity leave and getting promotion. And the person who handled the whole load very nicely in that period, will get only hopes.
Worst part is even the task distribution is being micromanaged by so called old senior managers specially in Sungard’s CLBT unit.
There are few good people still out there but 75% of the crowd is just like I have described.
Believe me, work with people with good intentions than working with such liars.
