I want to emphasize that this is based on my personal experience and the specific team I was part of. I acknowledge that there are many great employees and leaders within the company, but unfortunately, none of them were associated with my role.
- Empty Promises on Job Security: Despite assurances of "no layoffs," I was abruptly let go due to the elimination of my role.
- Lack of Professional Development: No opportunities for career growth or skill enhancement.
- Limited Financial Growth: If you're not in a revenue-generating role, there's no financial or career advancement.
- Hypocrisy in Culture: They preach "family," yet treat employees as disposable.
- Poor HR Support: HR was absent during my layoff, leaving me without guidance on benefits. I had to reach out for information.
- Ineffective Management: Leadership was clueless about my role for the entire 2 years I was there, ultimately leading to my layoff due to lack of initiative to define a career path for me.
- No Compensation Increases: No rewards or raises despite increased responsibilities. In two years, I only received a 2% annual salary increase.
- Absence of Performance Reviews: No annual or quarterly performance reviews. I had to request feedback, which I rarely received.
- No Support for Promotions: The focus is on keeping salaries as low as possible, with no support for growth.
- Lack of Feedback: Feedback, whether positive or negative, was rarely given, even when requested.
- Ineffective Meetings: Goal sessions and weekly 1-on-1s were unproductive.
- Unqualified Leaders: Leadership roles were often assigned based on tenure rather than skills.
- Unethical Leadership: Leadership prioritizes their own interests over employee well-being.
- No Exit Interviews: Over 20 employees left during my tenure, and none received exit interviews. The company showed no interest in learning from their departures.
- Poor Communication: Leadership and management often avoided answering questions, leading to a lack of clear communication.
- Greedy Culture: A culture driven by greed and self-interest.
