Once a Strong Culture, Now a Leadership Crisis - Recensione dipendente - Systems Engineer presso Verisign

It’s become increasingly obvious over the past couple of months that senior leadership is completely disconnected from the realities of the business. After five years of successful remote work, during which we consistently received praise for our collaboration and performance, they’re now abruptly forcing everyone back into the office under the guise of “enhancing collaboration.” It's either a RIF in disguise, or a poor decision. This shift appears to be less about productivity and more about justifying poor real estate decisions, specifically, the purchase of a second building that now sits unused. Instead of owning the mistake, leadership is choosing to penalize employees who’ve been delivering results remotely for half a decade. It feels like we’re being dragged back into the office to make their financial missteps look better on paper. Morale is slipping, and trust in leadership is fading fast.
