Dysfunctional Organisation - Project Manager Appen Employee Review

After a series of mismanagement decisions by the executive and senior management, stemming from a long held dysfunctional relationship between senior management, corporate functions and operations functions, a further series of bad decisions have been made in the recent redundancy and headcount reductions. There has always been a dysfunctional relationship between the "three Appens" - the operations team, committed to excellence but overworked with limited resources; the corporate functions and sales teams who blatantly don't listen to the consultation from operations and sell either infeasible projects and programs or sell them for unacceptably low margins under the guise that the opportunities are "strategic"; and the executive and senior management who clearly are so far removed from the details of the work operations does. This dysfunction is never clearer than the decisions made in the reduction of staff. The senior management have made several invaluable, brilliant staff, with specialised knowledge redundant, purely based on location/finance (and not performance), save a few "golden children" nepotistic-ally chosen by senior management. This compounds the current overwork of operations, and it feels all of our client projects are suffering/reeling from this (showing how far off the senior management really are from the reality of how to run this business). Additionally, sales and corporate functions have continued how they always have, continuing to sell things with little understanding/comprehension of the feasibility of projects and an unwillingness/inability to listen. For those that have not been made redundant, many wish they had (we were all over-worked before the redundancies), and almost all I've spoken too are looking for employment elsewhere. Appen has repeatedly broken the trust of its employees and there is little keeping what remaining talent the business has.
