- Lots of talk about valuing diverse opinions and approaches but seems management only trusts input of a select set of favorites
- Frustration for managers: HR has final say on all hires, can veto a candidate that hiring manager likes. Managers don't have insight into their team's pay and are in the dark regarding raises of those on their team. Leaves managers fielding frustrations from their team with no tangible way to address the issues
- Confusion around commissions and pay schedules for sales team
- Miscommunications across cross functional teams leads to occasional broken systems, often times the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
- Employees are either micromanaged or told to do as they see fit. No matter what approach is taken they are often made to feel it was the wrong one. Feedback is often vague, metrics are often feelings based and ever changing, leaving employees feeling gaslit
- Open secret that the office toxicity stems from within HR, but people in a position to do anything about it avoid addressing this issue and instead shuffle it around
