- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Managers who have been at the company for less than a year say things like "Starvation breeds innovation" and ultimately dictate the inequity between roles. Its their way of creating a caste system and a demoralizing hierarchy that doesnt align with the proposed culture of the company.
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?Very inconsiderate towards employees with children. Covid 19 has made it very hard to prosper there.
