What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Slim YOUR costs and put people in the field to work instead of us having 450 managers, 237 directors, and 150 VPs. Quit giving the executive team huge bonuses, expensive cars, and stock options and put money into operations, the bread and butter of this company.
Getting out of the way, lots of egos and micromanagement. They want yes men but claim to want 'leaders', in reality, if you're related to senior management you're going to move up quickly. Other than that, good luck.
Technology would be out of date in 1994, let alone 2021. Lots of record profits and small raises, especially with inflation above the 'top level' salary increase. Emails about a new VP or Director but you certainly have zero incentive to work any harder, just hard enough to stick around and kiss up.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Compensation is relative, but it would be nice not to work your salaried and not salaried people 80 hours a week. People need a home life too.
Paid below market rates for work, while the pension is nice, it's the lowest in the area compared to all similar institutions, I'd imagine as profits go up, that'll be one thing they buy out to reduce costs.
If we were paid market rates then yes, it would be great. The compensation committee for some reason hasn't figured out that the internet exists and that we're paid lower than a majority of counterparts. Assuming things open up, I'd imagine your talent will leave, yet again. Especially younger kids.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The biggest worry with WFH was that productivity would drop, it's maintained and actually increased during COVID, mostly because you're not in useless meetings to make your boss feel like they're involved in the work they're responsible for. Mute and remain productive is the order of the day.
Haha, wow, the book 'Death by Meeting' personifies the meeting value provided at Southwest Gas Corporation. It's for micromanagement and bosses to have a reason to summon employees because they haven't learned how to use Teams yet.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Stop talking to and treating employees like they are stupid. Mind your tone, be professional, and understand that LIFE happens. Have some empathy.
Stop punishing competence by working them to burnout, those with options will always leave. Instead, get the laggards to a respectable level of competence and production.
After full vesting in the pension plan, five years later you need to buy out or not accrue further benefits to those employees, they haven't learned the new processes, systems, or done actual work in likely 20 years.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Regular top heavy organization, understaff and overwork everyone below then tell them they're lucky to have jobs when they ask for help. I love how there was a horse sponsored in the Kentucky Derby yet they had budget for 2% companywide increases after adding two new Vice Presidents. Teldar Paper?
