A new exec joined our team and threatened, in a very careful way as to not technically sound like a threat, to fire anyone that didn’t memorize the company mission statement in order to be able to publicly recite it at our team meetings. This same terrible exec fired 3 people in our department within a period of 6 months and hired two of his personal friends into management positions they were ostensibly qualified for and wanted everyone to track their tasks in Microsoft Excel documents instead of JIRA because he used it to create dashboards for himself.
