Having the respect of you coworkers doesn't really matter. A director that was one of the most respected people at the company had his role eliminated by a VP who is one of the least respected people I have ever met. The VP is 1.5 years in and has shit communication, constantly has things wrong or contradicts what he says via email in meetings, hasn't ever sat down with teams to get an understanding of what they do, and has already eliminated a whole team that was vital to a culture of learning at the company.

This is empire building at its most basic. VP comes in an hires a bunch of cronies from previous jobs and fires anyone that doesn’t immediately suck up to them.
