Unfortunately in the last 90 days, leadership has become laser focused on certain activity goals, and mid level management has turned this into new policies that are not conducive to a positive, great place to work.
Our unlimited PTO policy has not been changed, but HR has told our managers that individuals can not take more than 20 days of PTO (including sick time). Not only do they not have to pay you out on accrued sick time, now they are limiting the time off (and this doesn’t include blackout dates for EOQ and the holiday season). Not sure why we have unlimited PTO, but then are getting rejected on requests bc we “took too many days”. I would understand if you were on a performance plan or close, not if you are considered a top performer.
There has always been some level of micro-management, but the latest set of initiatives and policies feel as though they are watching your every move. It does not feel like there is any level of trust, even with high performers who are at the top of the leaderboards and should have earned the trust.
Many of us are unhappy, and looking for new roles, which is truly unfortunate because when there is not as much micro-management, this truly is a great place to work.
I hope my review will force some action from management to take a look at the micro management happening, making mid market R&G a toxic place to work.
