Recent changes in senior leadership have had a significantly negative impact on the company’s culture and employee morale. The layoffs resulted in the loss of many talented people, and subsequent decisions, such as increasing in-office requirements, delaying promotions, and reducing remote work flexibility, have created added uncertainty and frustration for employees. Morale has declined significantly and the workplace feels far more stressful and less supportive than it once did. Leadership, particularly at the executive level, can come across as distant and unresponsive to employee concerns, with decisions appearing to prioritise board or shareholder interests and profits over the wider employee experience.
Anyone considering joining the company should think carefully before accepting an offer. While the job market may be challenging, the level of instability and the speed at which some new hires have been let go raise real concerns about job security.
