Has gone significantly downhill post-pandemic - Sr Strategist George P. Johnson Employee Review

- Long term (almost a decade) employment started strong but ended on sour note. After return from short term disability, my manager ghosted me for about two weeks. When I was finally able to schedule a meeting with her, I was reamed with a horrible performance review (after 7 years of 5 star performance reviews). Did I suddenly happen to become incompetent after taking disability, at a time when the company was doing layoffs? Or were they hoping that if they were brutal enough I would quit (I did), without having to risk a disability claim and/or pay me severance? Up to your interpretation. - Raises are negligible compared to COL and responsibility increases - Middle managers are overworked and take the stress out on their team, who they don't trust enough to delegate to - US strategy layoffs; roles outsourced to India where it's cheaper - If you do get laid off, you get no notice (though they expect two weeks from those who leave), and are unceremoniously locked out of Slack and all other programs. - Never really bounced back, financially or culturally, after the pandemic - Talk a big talk about DEI but can't hold on to POC - Abhorrent return to work policies. When people didn't take them up on hybrid schedules willingly (because the offices suck and are a difficult commute, plus most of the time you're spending hours in traffic just to spend all day at your desk on zoom), they enforced a big-brother badge scan policy and threatened people's jobs. - Pay is not competitive - Account managers don't know how to manage their clients - Project management is a joke
