However, it all changed when he was replaced. The effect trickled down and allowed upper and middle management to treat its employees badly.
1. RTO took away morale, especially knowing the parent company enforced 4 days, meanwhile they did 5.
2. The RTO announcement was handled poorly. Initially, they hinted possible stipend increase, but instead swept it under the rug.
3. Management has a traditional and conservative mindset, despite marketing itself as being open to change.
4. Misunderstood that being in the office on a defined set of hours will equal to productivity.
5. Understood that employees have a family, obligations, and commitments outside of work, yet chose to ignore all of it.
6. A majority of the management has a formula of running the company and team: ego * number of tenure * circle club
7. Bad at managing basic processes, and even worse at committing to the tools used for work.
8. Tools are rotated in and out, bad executions, sunset the product, then repeat the mistakes again.
9. Slow adoption of modern tech and still uses ancient tech to manage its critical infra.
10. The data collection process is so outdated and manual that it's sad. Bad at adopting failsafe or auto-catch mechanisms for data quality.
11. New products are often pushed to employees without proper training. Even upper and mid management don't know what the product is and often left without answers.
12. Questions and concerns are usually frowned upon, and can even be used as a method of delaying promotions or highlighting incompetence.
