9yTo this Former Employee - a few points we'd like to make, please.
1) Thank you for the time and energy spent to write your "unbiased" criticism.
2) The CEO does not pen any reviews. Not now. Not ever.
3) We would argue that there are far more than a "few very talented people" working here (we are certain that at one time you must have been one of them to have been hired in the first place)
4) We do not "punch the clock" here. Signing in and out is a courtesy to those working the front desks. It allows for better communication when other staff members and clients need to speak with us. Makes perfect sense.
5) Creating a powerful and productive daily task list helps you to prioritize and keep focused. We like them. We use them in our personal lives. To Do: Go to the Grocery store. Check. Take the kids to soccer practice. Check.
6) Our CEO does not dock money from our paychecks!
7) Meetings are a great reminder, after all, that we are in fact in a team – and not alone. They are a learning and improvement opportunity. They are also a way for all of us to communicate on a professional and personal level. We all share a bit of our lives in meetings. Because of schedules, on occasion meetings don't begin exactly on time, but every attempt is made to be respectful of each other's daily agendas.
8) We go home when our work is done. No one forces us to stay. Most of us are more than willing to do what it takes to finish that which we must (and only we can make that determination). It’s called being responsible.
9) Traveling for work is part of the job. Need time to get from point A to point B? Need time to detox after working a 7-day work week? Talk to your Department Head; he/she has been given the power by our CEO to run their respective departments – with consideration and flexibility.
10) Turnover – your facts are incorrect. Our turnover is 20% - which is far less than industry standard.
11) Pressure and stress – thank goodness we aren’t performing life and death surgeries here. “Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.”
12) Respect from our CEO – we have it. “Be a reflection of what you'd like to see in others! If you want love, give love, if you want honesty, give honesty, if you want respect, give respect. You get in return, what you give!”
We leave you with this and sincerely wish you all the best!
“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work..."
