My manager is kind, and she truly cares about me as a human being. My coworker is always willing to help me, and under his mentorship, I have grown my skill set considerably.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Genuinely caring about their employees. When Covid hit, Salesforce gave its employees mental health days every other Friday. They have no meeting Thursdays (protected at the highest level). They stood against Roe v. Wade, so employees knew they were protected rather than further traumatized.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Care about the people. Really care - consider the impact of your decisions (e.g. in your relocation requirements, your "redeployment" initiatives, your public stances) on the people. Think about the people they care for, the responsibilities and stresses weighing them down, the careers they want...

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Rather pursuing interesting projects with real benefit, I'm untangling the same convoluted processes because my suggested fixes are ignored, or I'm on a Sisyphusian loop redoing the same projects because something changes (a team is laid off, a system is replaced, etc.) every time it's completed.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I haven't had a band promotion in 6 years despite actively advocating for one and consistently having my managers' and their superiors' support. I'm doing the work of a higher band (and covering the work left open when coworker left and wasn't backfilled), but being label and paid at a lower band
