TKWW is clearly going through a major transition and change itself is not the issue. It is understandable that growth often requires difficult decisions. The bigger concern is how that change has been managed.
TKWW once felt more transparent and inclusive, with employees more regularly included in conversations and kept informed. More recently, it has felt defined by top down decisions, inconsistent direction, and visible misalignment across senior leadership. The result is a workplace that often feels uncertain and increasingly disconnected. Misaligned priorities across teams seem to have led to inefficiencies, duplicated effort, and unnecessary strain on resources. Workloads appear increasingly heavy, while a growing volume of meetings can make it harder to maintain focus, productivity, and momentum. The company at times feels as though it is still searching for a clear identity and direction.
That shift is especially disappointing because TKWW was once known for a stronger culture and a clearer sense that employees were valued. In recent years, that culture appears to have changed meaningfully, and the employee experience seems to reflect that. After many years with the company, being let go without even an exit interview felt like a clear reflection of how much that culture had changed.
