Morale is low, people are quitting or trying to, and no one is being hired in-office to pick up the workload of former employees. Help managing stacking workloads is often promised but never delivered, leaving some teams to crush overtime just to put a dent in deadlines. Late nights and busy weekends. Cross-training team members to assist with new tasks isn't consistently handled due to being short-staffed.
Little to no incentive to exceed expectations. Employees who work hard earn more roles and responsibilities without seeing promotion or compensation review. Annual cost-of-living raises aren't guaranteed even for high performers. Bonus opportunities are tied to a company-wide leaderboard system that favors certain types of work, punishing diverse workloads and certain teams.
People who used to adore their jobs here are fighting demons just to clock in most mornings. Breaks my heart every day to hear so many express that they feel overworked and undervalued when it wasn't like that just a few years ago.
