I've grown here and I'm grateful for the flexibility and opportunity. But consistent praise without compensation is not sustainable. I deserve — we all do — leaders who fight for us in rooms we aren't in. Advocacy and action retain people. Words alone do
What makes you most happy at work?
Honestly? My teammates. A quick coffee chat or check-in before we get back to it is the highlight of my day. That sense of connection and community is what makes showing up easy.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Our team's strength lies in mutual trust and shared visibility into our workload. Because we see what leadership does not, we fill the gaps for each other. That culture of support deserves acknowledgment and structural backing.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The most positive aspect of our culture is genuine support for wellbeing. Knowing I can step away to clear my head and return recharged isn't just a perk, but it makes me a better, more present contributor.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Despite consistent above-expectation reviews and embodying our core values, I remain the least compensated. I've absorbed teammates' workloads without recognition or pay. Being praised but underpaid isn't sustainable and it contradicts the culture we claim to build.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Individual contributors are over-capacity and underleveraged. Penalizing requests for help and rewarding strong performance with more work creates burnout, not results. My feedback is that equitable workload distribution is critical to achieving the quality and speed leadership expects and values.
