Flexibility No More & Losing Hard Workers

Anonymous employee

Pros

Camaraderie between department is a pro, and the hybrid policy was a pro but that has quickly been stripped from workers. Company garden & cafeteria, sometimes.

Cons

Out of thin air, CEO decides for everything to go back to ‘pre Covid times’. Meaning no more hybrid work and no more remote work. This has been more of an incentive to lose very good talent and get folks to leave because of the ‘no lay off’ policy. Quite frankly, this rule is reducing morale drastically, and people are quitting which is probably what he wants to reduce costs. CEO does not value workers, and the “lean but not mean” culture is quickly disintegrating. Every decision is made from the CEO, which is just unreasonable. Upper management is like a child and the CEO is the parent and every one wants to be the ‘golden child’. It is a disgrace how some departments are not treated fairly and others get to pick and choose what policies they abide by. Pay is also below average and career progression is at a low.

Dead end, few opportunities for growth

Pros

Great people in my department Very good work life balance Benefits are pretty good

Cons

No promotions, pay was decent when I started but hasn't kept up with inflation at all. New hires and even backfills are rare. Feels like a career dead end since the work is mostly on legacy tech. Upper management is mercurial, making us waste time on doomed projects. People/culture outside my department are often difficult to work with.

Pros

Job security. Not great but decent pay package and compensation

Cons

The no lay-off policy is really hurting the company, with a lot employees simply waiting to retire from this company with no real motivation to work. Also, for whatever reason, there seem to be a lot of people who simply seem to have got lucky at some point in the past in getting a job offer from this company but seriously lack even the minimum qualifications (technical skills or aptitude) to do their job. The top management seems to be in denial. Simply living off past glory, whenever that was.
