Salary - Outreach Worker Likewise Employee Review

The company feels just small enough to feel like you can get to know your coworkers but large enough to allow for mentorship opportunities and learning from more experienced people.

Have not fully returned from remote work

Received decent hourly pay while there.

There's so much that went wrong there that I'm surprised the company is still running. I was recruited last year to write blurbs for its newsletter. I received zero training and was expected to start writing immediately with very little guidance on what was expected of me. It seemed like those in charge of editorial were figuring things out on the fly. Instead of communicating that I wasn't doing the work to their liking, my Slack access was shut down without warning. I asked if something was going on, was told everything was fine and it was just a mistake. Then, a week later, I was told there'd been some restructuring and I'd been affected by the layoffs…coinciding with Likewise's hiring of two new writers to replace me. I wish they had given feedback on my work instead of pushing me out. It was a nightmarish situation and even more insulting to have it happen right before the holidays.
