Great co-workers, questionable upper management - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso DaySmart Software

Thank you for your input, we’re glad to hear you share our enthusiasm for our team. You do make some assertions in your review we’d like to address: The migration from hourly to annual wages has been the plan since last spring and it was discussed a lot, although apparently not everyone was getting that message loud and clear. The plan was always to make some accommodation for historical overtime pay so as to ensure that no one was 'unduly hurt' by the move to a more professional pay structure and schedule. We've been “doing that math” and all payroll changes are being discussed with individuals in the next 10 days and all changes will be made before the end of January, but retroactive to Jan 1st. Job openings are routinely reviewed for applicability to existing employee skill sets in the hope that we can continue to promote from within (as we did 14 times last year alone, representing about 25% of the company). The positions currently open are largely within Development: Full Stack Developers, .Net Developers, Product Managers etc... Your direct manager should be discussing your career goals with you, and encouraging you to apply to positions for which you have experience. If you feel that your skills have been overlooked for these roles, we strongly encourage you to apply, as we always prefer to promote from within. The Friday free lunch orders have been pretty consistent, and we often ask for individual orders ahead of time specifically to guarantee everyone gets something they want and is able to eat. The feedback to date has been great about the quality and diversity of the menu changes since the move to Ann Arbor. With the expansion in staffing over the last few months, some adjustments had to be made regarding the quantity of food ordered. That being said, any requests regarding this program can easily be sent to the coordinator of Fun Friday, who is always ready and willing to make necessary changes and frequently solicits feedback. A “year-end bonus” is something the management team was simply not aware of. After seeing this post, we’ve done some digging, and found that most employees were given between $50 - $100 at the end of the year in the past. It is worth noting that we spent significant money to host a catered holiday party, with beer & wine and grab gifts for each employee, in addition to the logo’d jackets you mention. The total cost of the event was more than $120/per person, which does not include the additional 4 hours paid to every hourly employee that enjoyed this attendance-optional party. DaySmart follows the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 mandate, as the US has no national paid family leave law or program. DaySmart also offers short-term and long-term disability (paid for by the company) which can be used if an extended leave is expected. Management at DaySmart - from the CEO to all departmental heads - have an open door policy; most of us don't even have doors. We encourage you to speak to someone should you have any questions or concerns in the future, so that we can maintain two-way communication that addresses concerns as they arise.
