Leadership: Constantly patting themselves on the back about exceeding sales goals and how strong company is, while laying off individual contributors. A top-down culture of micromanagement and nitpicking performance to fit whatever narrative about their staff. Middle management is only interested in pleasing leadership and leadership is only interested in pleasing owners. Covid: After three years of covid, there has been no market adjustment for pay, no bonuses, and no compensation bump for inflation. There has just been lots of talk about how strong revenue is, while laying off individual contributors. During covid, leadership mentioned in a few meetings about ski trips, traveling, horse-riding, and golfing trips. How insensitive and disrespectful is it to mention these luxuries while dodging conversations about pay. Company: Leadership has convinced themselves that this is a tech company. It is not. Neither the products nor the compensation reflect that self-deception.
