Pros
Unlimited PTO (for now) Remote (for now) Great colleagues
Cons
The entire executive team has lost their minds, feeding the entire staff one lie after another for the last 3 years, starting with repeatedly telling us we’d never have to return to office. Now they’re forcing everyone within a 75-min commute time (one way) to RTO. They actually think 2.5 hours a day of commuting is reasonable for a company that hasn’t given anyone a meaningful pay increase in 2 years. This is the best they could come up with after a massive pushback when they first made the RTO announcement in June. Took them until August to give us more info. After the first round of layoffs in spring 2022, we were assured there wouldn’t be more. Cut to winter, there’s another round. And yet another round just this week. The boldly terrible RTO plan seems like a calculated move to offload as many employees/salaries as possible without giving people the benefit of a severance package. Shady deals to encourage employees to sell our stock options for practically nothing disguised as “proof of growth.” We used to take our core values very seriously. Now they’re nonexistent. Nobody’s happy. Everyone is anxious and miserable and looking for jobs elsewhere.
