It was very apparent that she was insecure and only favored people who could stomach telling her how wonderful she was on a consistent basis. In 7 years, she eliminated over 65% of her entire staff for the most selfish reasons, costing the company over 1 million in relocation, severance pay, loss of productivity, and recruitment costs. The ironic part of this story, is the department was based on providing techniques and skills to the top leaders of the company on how to develop their employees for retention purposes. She grossed over 1 million dollars in bonuses in 2009, but her entire job was conducted by her staff who was completely exhausted working grueling hours trying to prepare her for meetings, metrics, operations, etc since she knew absolutely nothing about her organization. She was quick through her staff under the bus to save her own behind. The VP is unfortunately still there and continues to treat her staff in the most unrespectable way, by holding her hand in their face not allowing them to explain themselves when she made false acquisations or didn't have the facts straight. She would also ralley other staff members against others out of enjoyment of seeing the frenzy to eliminate an employee. By far the worst, is when she would humilate her staff in front of others by saying "Repeat what I just said!" "Repeat it again...and now repeat it one more time so I know you got it through your head." Out of my 18 year work history in Corporate America, this is the worst "MONSTER" I've ever encountered and I know for a fact that her management style was NOT part of the University Curriculum.
