Vantaggi
For a long time, with the last CEO, it really was a great place to work. They pivoted and made decisions with the employees in mind. They shared performance bonuses with their employees. They promised fully and permanently remote positions, and encouraged us to make our homes work friendly.
Svantaggi
Now there's a new CEO. And he decided to break that promise and his employees trust. One of his first decisions as CEO was to break the news that people within 50 miles of an office were now required to come in 3 times a week. This includes the Woodland Hills office, which means that people living on the opposite side of LA now have to account for a 4+ hour roundtrip commute. And the worst part is that the ostensive reason of more collaboration is completely untrue, there are entire teams who will have to come into an office simply to interact with the rest of their team through Zoom. Farmers showed a complete disregard for their employees, who put their trust in the company as they made their life decisions, selling cars and starting families. I firmly believe that it's a shady way to do soft layoffs, or quiet firing.
