Toxic culture on comms team - Recensione dipendente - Social Media Strategist presso Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota

No onboarding — it’s sink or swim — and given the breadth and depth of work at the MPCA this becomes a huge hurdle. No grace or support from comms leaders while you get acclimated. No processes and norms to rely on — you must intuit comms leadership’s intent without having access to them (frequently canceled 1:1s, failed promises to connect/follow-up, and over-full calendars so you can’t get anything scheduled proactively). Badly run meetings where comms leaders regularly dress down staff publicly. Devastating lack of clarity from comms leadership leads to a lot of sidebars among staff, and from managers to staff. An overall lack of trust.
