Uncaring Management Team - Administrative Assistant Granite Telecommunications Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your views. We appreciate your work and your assessment of your time with us, including one “Pro” during your less than 2 years with us – a challenging period of time for everyone. Even during the pandemic, we are proud to have provided steady employment to you and to every other Granite Teammate, without layoffs, furloughs or pay decreases and switching to work from home for Granite Teammates. We continue to offer WFH to our Teammates today. We appreciate your observations about “competition” within Granite. As you know, we win business from large, incumbent carriers and service providers whom we often need to out-hustle for business. That culture permeates many things here, and we know it isn’t a perfect fit for everyone. We appreciate your viewpoints on the many fundraising and philanthropic initiatives. Granite has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most philanthropic companies in Massachusetts and one of the best places to work. No one is required to participate in our popular shaving events, and many hundreds of our Teammates opt not to do so. Same goes for other efforts to promote philanthropic initiatives here – including the $3 per week solicited for a local, non-profit selected by a Granite Teammate. Granite matches all donations. No one is required to participate and all Granite Teammates are paid to volunteer at the same philanthropies without any financial sacrifice whatsoever. Finally, we appreciate you pointing out the work of Granite’s Diversity Committee and the significantly good work the company has done to promote many social justice initiatives both within the company and in the communities where we work and live. Nothing “fake” nor “lip service” about that. We are proud of our diverse workforce, which extend into and through Granite’s managers and supervisors – all the way into Granite’s senior-most leadership. All chairs on that team are minorities in leadership positions within the company. We wish you luck in your chosen career path and hope with additional experience elsewhere you’ll remember us more fondly.
