- Technical feedback frequently issued through broad group messaging channels rather than private one-on-one discussions
- Feedback often felt public and uncomfortable rather than developmental or supportive
- Over several months, employees gradually lost access to internal systems suggesting potential layoffs with management never acknowledging these indicators
