The comment section

Redditors in the comment section related to OP's frustration, and many had their own similar experiences to share.

“Recently learned about the Chesterton's fence theorem.” replied u/Daikataro, “The abstract is that, before you tear down a fence, you learn why it was put there in the first place. Or like we say in engineering. If it's not broken, don't fix it.”

“Oh fucking hell, that was my life at my last job.” said u/kmkmrod, “We made a good amount of money. We got a new vp who wanted to make more money so she threw out everything and started from scratch. We all gave it a chance. We brought in new people and consultants. They helped come up with a strategy. As we approached each issue we came up with options, did investigations, and picked the best path. We did that over and over. We did save some money by introducing new tools and found some efficiencies that saved some money/made more money, but largely we rebuilt what we had because it was the best way to do what we did. She saw it and threw it out again and said come up with something different, so we went back and made different choices. We ended up spending more to make less money. We had a $200M business, made it into about a $225M business, then she tore it down and now it’s a $75M business.”

 

“The newbies don't have tenure, experience and sales to back up their claims of how they work and the benefit of it. They likely are on less pay starting out than the expensive older crew, less favourable packages, benefits and commissions. Short term the company just saved themselves a huge amount of money and reduced long term expenses. Ops team built relationships, the new crew will be given a script to follow and an endless cold calling list. Just like spam, wide coverage, low hit rate but still turns a profit, and those staff will get better over time. If not, churn is a thing that's just accepted in cold calling jobs.” said u/Sirix_8472.

OP follows up with more thoughts and details

After a cool-down period, OP came back with more details about the aftermath of the staff's exodus.
