I have no say about the execs and I do hear that Tom is a hardworking, down-to-earth guy. But the big ego among the lower management and their mistreatment to employees are a big issue and udnermining myspace as well. It is a rule of thumb that managers has higher credibility than employees and they are favored. But with myspace, I suggest upper management soon realize how these managers and directors are actually compromising the company. The most disgusting behavior is that the data warehouse manager is prohibiting several of her employees from working on tasks. Were she ever thinking about the company's favor when doing this...of course not, she is thinking about hreself and her big, arrogant ego. That is true.
