The senior management out of Swiss HQ is the problem, and everything imploded quickly. The managers were detached, paranoid, and inept, actively sabotaging their employees while having no idea what individuals' jobs actually entailed.
The Swiss managers are openly sexist, racist, and homophobic, and arbitrarily fire employees from other branch offices, in other countries, or entire teams for reasons including "not pretty enough." They seem to operate multiple shadow businesses out of the Zurich HQ, all of which are extremely sketchy. They know very little about the tech they are managing, but are resistant to data-driven, subject matter expert, and best practices suggestions for ego-driven reasons.
