So was it IBM, as someone says down thread? That's a pretty horrible sequence of behaviors. I wonder how the CEO would describe those choices? Honestly appraising the previous leader for #1? For #2, I remember when steve ballmer removed all office supplies at microsoft except for the first floor in every building, to "save money". It was kind of stupid. #3 does sound like a prison. Basically, why would anyone want to work at a place like that?

No I was working at a, I would say smaller, regulatory agency, I don't want to be any more specific than that. Probably should have mentioned that in the original post, my apologies.

Regarding #3: isn't that how modern prisons are constructed? A central "panopticon" watchtower looking out into the cells.
1st. She trashed talked what was done before.
2nd. she took away any coffee or tea provided for employees to use, saying it cost $10000 a year to provide them.
3rd. Then she got a plan for a complete renovation of the office space, so executive officers had offices in the middle of the building that looked out over what would be open plan offices, so that no-one had the slightest bit of privacy at all. This was not done to fit more people in.
4th. Then a move to a completely different state in the country was being talked about.
I am glad I don't work there any more.
