Manager - Anonymous employee Viasat Employee Review

Transitioning from a "Fearless Grounded Inspired Resourceful" band of start-up minded team players and take on the worlders to a big Bureaucracy has been very challenging. I know it's not easy. Everything I have ever read on management says that people don't leave jobs, they leave managers. We're no longer flat, agile, nimble, real. We're wasteful and frustrating. The fear of spending too much money or doing something wrong has created layers of very costly layers to provide adult supervision constantly for things we used to just go do. Can't be cost effective. Impossible. There are layers of huge problems of folks that cause problems, and won't lift a finger to fix or alleviate them. The "D Suite" (layer) gets a D. I read once that "companies will whip you like an egg white with one hand, and offer you a Stress Seminar with the other" This can't be unique to this company. But the old song we keep hearing is that such is inevitable when companies get bigger. One of the worst things anyone could or should ever say, is that's things are inevitable. So is failure when that status quo mindset is adopted.
