Pros
Get to learn and handle things that are far and beyond, not within your scope.
Cons
1. Employees are often expected to cover for colleagues, including managers, who cannot manage their own workloads, leading to burnout and low morale. Some long-serving underperformers also appear to be promoted based on favouritism rather than performance.
2. There is poor alignment and inconsistent communication across departments, causing misunderstandings, inefficiencies, and rework.
3. Agreed incentives and compensation can be changed or withdrawn without notice, creating uncertainty and undermining employees trust.
Employees have limited visibility into the company’s financial performance, which is often cited to justify the lack of bonuses and incentive etc even tho heavy investments can still be seen.
