It was clear when I began working here that women were commonly labeled negative and “not team players” yet male counterparts were never condemned for voicing opinions or providing feedback.
Field Management is largely incompetent; serving as mostly email pushers. Not one person on my team was developed or promoted, and requests to move up or into different positions were ignored. Racist slurs and insensitive comments were common as well as clear cut discrimination against women. Other departments on our all hands calls often asked why women were paid less than male counterparts. Several women were terminated for speaking up or giving solicited feedback; one for going over her managers head to ensure proper maternity leave when management wouldn’t commit to a maternity policy. The East is run completely different than the West; with a clear message on the East to fear upper management and shut your mouth or else you will face retaliation. HR is just as complicit in this treatment and sides with management. Was verbatim told by management “we treat everyone different here” which was clear in their favoritism towards males. Clear lack or diversity in the company largely run by white males. I left on my own accord for all these reasons, leaving behind a successful territory with strong relationships and lucrative bonuses.
