The company is changing for the worse. 4 years ago it was a fun, happy, exciting place to work with great collegiality. Too many middle managers and poor leadership skills are now stifling all of that. Less consideration for work/life balance. So what if unbilled hours are being recorded.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Mike is a greet leader. The main exec team is great but way too many middle managers.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Ensure managers understand work/life balance is important. Don't use the need to get a project over the line to overwork people. You are loosing quality, collegiality,. The company is changing in the wrong way with team members including managers supporting one another.
What are some of the best things about your team?
ONe team is great, will lead and fun to work with. The otehr team seems to be unhappy because of te pressures being put on them with threats of having to work weekends even when putting in the hours during the week.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
My immediate manager is not letting me work an 8 hour day. Or that's the implication. If you want me to work more then 8 hours provide more incentives or increase salaries. Meetings are scheduled during lunch regularly with no thought to impact, too much micro-management.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am expected to work crazy hours to get these transition projects live. It will cause burn out. An immediate manager of mine does not seem to be considering work/life balance. Why should I work a full day + quite a bit with little chance to stop eat lunch, take a healthy break.
