Who doesn’t love a place where butts in seats is a motto, daily 8:30AM meetings to prove you’re online, and if your zoom background looks different, you’ll get peppered with questions as to why you’re embracing remote work life; but really why aren’t you at your desk working?
All the recent bad reviews are extremely accurate, and I can vouch that nothing has changed in the last month since the launch of the inquisition to find out who spilled our dirty laundry.
Team engagement is all time low, “management” empathy and willingness to try things differently is an all time low. You have managers sending nasty emails telling team members to basically be good puppets and participate to their expectations instead of working together with the team to foster and build better culture.
In the last 6 months, we’ve had practically every decent middle management and supporting leaders leave, almost every two weeks. Everyone knows they leave for better culture and support that isn’t coming from the Director and above level (the money really doesn’t even matter). Also, who doesn’t love at least one creepy/entitled man in each role across the company to make you feel real uncomfortable, question how they’re still even here, and who allows their behavior to continue?
