Cons
JC used to be an amazing place to work. High trust, inclusive, and accommodating. With new leadership all of that has been killed. If a company wants to call everyone back into the office, that is a business decision and I won't sit in judgement of it. But how you execute such a culture rattling and life impacting change MATTERS. Leadership has chosen the least ethical and empathetic path possible offering little notice, very few exceptions, zero financial support for relocation, and a big brother approach to monitoring in office attendance.
Turnover has spiked including many of the top performing employees fleeing en mass. This appears part of leadership's plan to make working conditions so intolerable people quit so they don't have to execute a layoff.
Along with new leadership has come a new excessive drinking culture. No joke! Drinking till all hours of the evening is the normal now in LA.
