Trying to Be Optimistic

Pros

The team I work with is really great and a large part of the reason I am still here. Flexible work schedule. Benefits are decent.

Cons

The higher up the management tree, the less they seem to care. When CEO doesn't think people leaving in droves is a problem, that says something. People are overworked due to people leaving and layoffs. Pay is not commensurate with the amount of work that one is expected to do.

Too many changes happening at the same time is causing huge issues. Senior management do not seem to have a grasp of the complexities of the change. Too many talented and knowledgeable staff are being let go. Very low morale Distrust in the organisation
