This is the worst place I have ever worked and can't wait to leave. I've been here for a few years but finally have another offer. I was restructured yet again and have been relentlessly bullied by coworkers in my new department. These "coworkers" are on a project where it seems there were too many people and not enough work. Even though I was on a different project, these people have attacked me and anyone transferred to the dept.
Things were supposed to change with all of the new executive leadership. The bullying has worsened since they arrived. I am also now being forced to work with the bullies because they are merging our teams (more restructuring!!!). Some of us tried to escalate the issues but we were ignored.
All the executives have done is talk. They do things that don't matter right now, like set up "cafes", instead of solving real crisis problems. We need real leadership. We need a zero tolerance bullying policy. This place will be burnt to the ground by the people who have been rotting here....chasing away all the new talent. One person left this summer, said in a group meeting that she lost 15lbs in a month from not eating due to the stress. There was another person who left shortly after the new executives arrived because of the spiral downwards of leadership in the design department. These are huge signs you can't ignore. It is not only grunts like me leaving...it is managers and directors because even they know they can't fix USB now. This is an abusive culture.
But wait, there's more. So much outsourcing. They have parallel design teams in India that are supposed to work with you. Except how do you work with them when they are asleep when you are awake? USB keeps saying they are not our replacements. Yet they have the same number of employees and are working on the exact same products. I started out as a contractor and at the time, my agency said that in about 3 years USB would stop hiring in the U.S. and not backfill...so that the outsourced contractors could take over the design work.
