In Reply To: I am getting a lot of ampathy in the market. Suprisingly a lot more then I would have imagined. Instead of why are you leaving your job. People are asking howing bad is it getting over there, I here its a nightmare. Any one else getting calls trying pull you off a life raft in the ocean?
Message: But it's also embarrassing to hear that word has gotten out about how bad things are here. How do Hewitt leaders respond to people outside the firm who bring up this stuff? How, as a CEO, could you explain to other HR leaders the significant deterioration in morale, the massive exodus of talent leaving the firm, and the overall negative impression other HR professionals have about the working environment of your own company? Even ignoring the blatantly obvious and lying through your teeth would become apparent and pathetic after a while. This is extremely embarrassing...especially for a firm that used to be the best in the HR field and that boasts (even today) about "making the world a better place to work".
