(24,434 posts)Wow, I can't believe the trash they have as CEO now, the first CEO and his son who was later CEO are legends and based their leadership style on servant leadership. This woman is a disgrace and I bet she gets forced to resign.
Max De Pree is rolling over in his grave.

(24,434 posts)Max De Pree is an icon. His books on leadership sit on the shelves of every business person in the country. Herman Miller was an incredibly innovative and socially conscious company for decades.
I am here in West Michigan, the Herman Miller culture was considered the ideal corporate culture for generations. Just shocking that this absolute ghoul is the leader of that company. I am absolutely outraged and intend to send this to the local media, it's beyond the pale.

(4,475 posts)Because they don't. In fact they never have.
However I see virtually everyone making this mistake.
My guess here is that they want to do a layoff, but don't want to pay severance. So they withhold the bonus, piss off a big chunk of staff who will now take a job elsewhere.
Viola! Free layoff.

(24,434 posts)Needs to be on the front page. People need to Tweet this at activists, and also at the Herman Miller Twitter page. This woman should lose her job.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
