CEO is terrible makes same mistakes over and over again. Revolving door of senior leaders. Failure to find a second act. Current bet product will not succeed due to poor leadership and execution. Headcount freezes and reductions. Layoffs coming. No budget for anything. No opportunities to grow. Stock price plummeting. This is a sinking ship SOS.
