Ashamed of what we’ve become - Anonymous employee Eastman Employee Review

While in the past there were many upsides of being employed at Eastman , now is not the time to join . The culture and working environment has become toxic. I am concerned about the capability of the leadership team in driving our innovation platforms and the overall health of the organization . After the RIF in February people are dual and triple hatted and drowning in work. And the attitude of Eastman is “ be lucky you have a job” We promote people based off favoritism and not on capability . It’s an environment that thrives on building consensus with homogenous thinkers everywhere you look. Times at Eastman are scary right now . It’s like being in the jungle and everyone is in self preservation mode which drives behaviors that have greatly impaired the psychological safety and well being of the employees . Unless you sit in Kingsport Tennessee with the rest of us we are not inclusive of you . You will have to scratch and claw just to get into the meetings that are essential to your job . It feels like no one is aligned and everyone is working against each-other and it will eventually be the end of Eastman. My advice to anyone reading this is to wait to see if they can turn it around . We have a lot to learn as an employer .
