Where Spreadsheets Matter More Than Integrity
Pros
Learn firsthand insight into how easily integrity can be sacrificed when leadership prioritizes numbers over people. The experience is useful only if your takeaway is recognizing red flags to avoid in your next role.
Cons
Lack of integrity is not occasional- it’s baked into daily operations. Loyal customers and employees are taken for granted. Long standing relationships are exploited rather than respected. Integrity is labeled as a core value but only when it sounds good, abandoned when it costs anything.Long term customers are routinely charged more, given fewer concessions and expected to accept unfavorable pricing simply because they have an established relationship. Customers who built the business are penalized for staying while new customers are rewarded with better pricing, free freight, attention and flexibility.
