Pros
Those employees who want the best for one another
Cons
It’s concerning to see an organization promote values like having a voice or learning from mistakes when, in reality, the executive leadership team fosters a culture of intimidation and fear. Toxic behavior from the top has gone unchecked, and even HR appears hesitant to challenge it — which says a lot about the internal climate. Workloads have increased while headcount has decreased, creating unsustainable pressure. And when managers are told to “just pick” individuals for layoffs without clear reasoning or accountability, it opens the door to bias, retaliation, and poor judgment. We have lost a lot of strong individuals due to this. It’s not leadership when fear drives decisions — it’s control.
