Review from Operations Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Worst management — yearly reviews are a joke — no promotions within. They prefer hiring from outside and that is the only time to negotiate. Once within, will be subject to politics and no pay rai
Set a example, give directions or motivation
Reward middle management and listen to them
Using a bell curve on employee annual reviews. Outdated system that punishes employees who work hard and demotivates them. Also retrain managers away from the idea that if you do 110% it only meets expectations because the manager expects you to be a high performer.
I am having a terrible work-life balance
Put some effort on people management, not only output. I have never seen any company has such a high turnover rate. Most people left within 3 years.
Stop hiring your buddies from other companies. Consider women, younger executives who think differently.
Only out to ensure executive team get their bonus on the backs of others
Best the company has done in years , yet employees that make it happen are not compensated for the effort. Raise do even track with inflation .
