Just wondering how many CIOs are aware of office politics within their own departments. How do they handle such events.
Recently, my department is undergoing a major split-up after merger. The bought over company seems to be running the company and getting promoted. Staffs from the buying company is either being forced to leave, retire or put in miserable jobs. Surviving staffs cannot even talk freely in the office.
One can argue that maybe buying company staff are not up to measurement. Seriously, an entire department of IT professionals with degrees and above are not up to standards with non-graduates?
Does CIOs knows what’s going on under them or are they just reviewing reports and statistics? How do you know your middle management is not doing something politically to consolidate their position?
How does CIOs resolve such anormalies and the impact to the organisation? More than ever management in asia are not capable of handling people issues. They are more concerned with getting credit for other people’s work and climbing the corporate ladder.
Note : Please do not advise on reporting to CIOs or upper management, asians will take actions against the people who bring this up. Asian management staff are not openas American or British management on such discussions.
