The new corporate America

Eff American Express. The treat their people like crap. My SO has been there for almost four years, on travel side, mostly as a gm. Past three years there have been reorgs. She didn't survive this one... Cut over thirty from service positions while the twenty something year old MBAs with no real world experience do their charts and set expectations that are unrealistic... She gave above and beyond, yet these young managers don't have a clue as to what goes on in the trenches. Even took a downgrade in level(and pay) last year, yet had the same responsibilities....and her boss would not document reasons for the downgrade. Their whole culture sucks. Eff them. Considering legal action.

I feel your pain but your thread title doesn't indicate an AXP grump,it indicates a grump with America herself,corporate or not.

Be more specific in the title as you spelled America incorrectly and that could be taken as an insult.

I think a lot of what's wrong in America is corporate America, which has given rise to the "k". The corporate America of old was something that was admired, as were the corporate heads.... Not now. Too many are now run by the too young, foreign born, American educated generation that can't see beyond their own gain, and totally lack the old school, people skills.

Slave shops, every friggin' one of them. The youngster's who come in all hot have no idea how theyll be mined for everything they ever thought they'd earn..They are the Judas goats and will be slaughtered as well in the end..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Unfortunately all of the above is true.

the ultimate quote is 'Shareholder Value' as a reason for reorg's and offshoring.

Just tried. Can't find a way to change title....

But not meant to offend. Just trying to call attention to what is happening to America...on our watch.

She had her job extended this month to Dec 6, servicing another account that is leaving AXP. Today they told her, sorry. June 17 is last day...... American Express sucks.
