SLT did not get certain systems in place when the site was getting ready, so we were always behind in certain aspects, as a site. Additionally, SLT was not interested in giving departmental managers and leadership the support needed to be highly successful. Therefore, all the great people and middle management that were there when I started began to leave. When we started to get worried about the future of the site and asked about it, global leadership obfuscated their intentions and told us we had nothing to worry about. Suddenly, when it became apparent that they made some financial miscalculations, they shut down the site. There were people who had been hired the week before the announcement. Some people had just moved from out of state to take a position there. The way the news was broken to the site was highly unprofessional and insensitive to the real people this was affecting. Then a company representative made claims relating to severance that turned out to be untrue and they just didn't care.
