I used to be proud to work here, but it’s clear the company has lost sight of what made it successful: its people.
The recent return-to-office announcement, which was leaked internally before any official communication, highlighted just how disconnected leadership has become. It was positioned as being “for collaboration” and “for the people,” but that couldn’t be further from the reality. Most teams collaborate just fine remotely, and the decision feels more like control for control’s sake rather than anything genuinely beneficial to employees or the business. The rollout sparked sarcastic reactions in internal chats, revealing how disconnected leadership is from employee sentiment.
Management is another major issue. Many managers hold their roles due to tenure, not leadership ability. There’s been little to no formal training, which shows in poor communication, lack of direction, and minimal support for employees. It’s hard to grow or feel valued when the people leading you are just figuring it out as they go.
Morale is low, transparency is lacking, and the culture that once prioritized flexibility, respect, and innovation is slowly being replaced with rigidity, performative decisions, and outdated thinking.
If you’re looking for a workplace that values its people and invests in strong leadership, you may want to keep looking-at least until this company decides to listen again.
