Lose It! attracts good people who want to do good for others. Unfortunately, it doesn't bring out the best in them.
- It is a very politicized environment where titles go to friends and those who tout their accomplishments and complaints the loudest. Those close to management are promoted.
- Very little psychological safety or freedom to voice concerns
- Extreme aversion to talking about anything controversial, including active racist, sexist, homophobic, and political discourse that went unchecked. Not just a few times, but every week.
- The marketing team is treated more like an in-house agency than a creative marketing team.
- The brand has weakened. Any statements you see are the result of a bandwagon, not a change of heart.
- The company tells a narrative about why employees leave that is not true. Ex: when someone leaves for HR/traumatic/bullying events or feeling excluded and ignored, they are painted as leaving for petty issues and a general non-culture fit. That couldn't be further from the truth.
- When issues arise, information is moved around and people are shifted around the company, but not the underlying issue remains - there is not psychological safety at this company.
People weren't given the power to stand for me. So now I stand for them.
