Vantaggi
Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.
Svantaggi
(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it.
(2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture.
(3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable.
(4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities.
(5) I was one of those minorities.
