Toxic company culture - Anonymous employee Argument-Driven Inquiry Employee Review

The company culture is extremely toxic due to upper management. Fantastic members of all teams feel they must constantly walk on eggshells to appease management, or else they will get yelled at or fired on the spot. During the 4 months I worked there, two employees were fired and four quit. Employees across the board are begging for actionable feedback and receiving none. The CEO claims one of the core values of the company is to “make things better,” but when employees suggest creative and innovative ways to improve efficiency and workflow, it is interpreted as complaining or having a bad attitude. Upper management does not care about making changes to improve, and ultimately the results of the existing inefficiencies are blamed on employees. Overall, employees attempt to be proactive, but management continues to be reactive. I was hired as a member of a brand new team within the company and it quickly became clear that management did not understand the intricacies of our work. Our expectations and goals were constantly changing without any warning or conversations with our team. We were regularly criticized for not meeting nebulous expectations that we were unaware of. Furthermore, when we accepted blame and criticism out of fear of being fired, and asked how we could improve, no feedback or suggestions were provided.
