IT is a rudderless mess with no real idea as to what IT should look like. The core leadership of IT in North America has almost zero IT experience to speak of. When you do figure this out the become abusive and start the process to work you out of the company and subjugate you while they stab you in the back at every turn.
There is absolutely NO Disaster Recovery Plan for North America or the entire company for that matter. There is NO business continuity plan either for any location. The short signed leadership with almost no experience has no idea how that should look or how to engineer it. Along with that problem they have dismissed and fired everyone who could have gotten them there because in that conversation they don't listen and feel like they are being lectured when the truth is they are just ignorant on how large IT works.
They hire and promote people, not on experience or talent, but on your sex and your race. It's absurd. Younger employees are allowed to bully and terrorize anyone who disagrees with them and it's supported. Older more experienced employees are seen as a problem to the organization when in reality, they are disliked for being smart enough to solve the problems the IT management can't but due to their egos won't allow.
The leadership as a whole is not overly ambitious either. They flounder on all kinds of issues from quarter to quarter and then act surprised when things go badly. As a company, they fail at marketing products in North America because they refuse to actually get in front of the consumers and then have the audacity to blame the market, consumers, and raw materials costs for the financial problem.
