We're hemorrhaging talent due and it feels like management doesn't care about its employees but I prefer having a job in this recession and I don't want to be fired or laid off.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Initially really great. So much so that I passed up multiple offers from other companies to stay here. Gradually worse every year. Vast majority of C-suite and SVPs are gone too. We miss KPIs due to being short-staffed and underpaid. Great products unsupported and forgotten while focusing on trends.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I don't have a team
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
they have some in-person events which works for more extroverted people.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everything positive about the culture has been taken away/replaced by something worse, unfortunately
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Not lose everyone at the same time, compensate employees properly, foster an environment that drives company growth, not force hybrid
What are some of the best things about your team?
they know how to get the job done and they're go-getters. my local office also cares about me as a person which is nice.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Match market rate pay, provide retirement matching and stock/share options for Canadian employees to match US/UK employees, adopt true flexible work from home schedule and offer true unlimited vacay as advertised.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
forced return to office and arbitrary rules around it, multiple uncommunicated organizational shifts, poor integration of acquisitions, lack of respect for local cultures and disregard for previous benefits employees had pre-acquisition, lack of transparency and communication
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
negotiable raises, annual raises on top of merit-based raises, additional cost of living increases separate from raises, solid opportunities for growth, educational benefits, share/stock options, paid education training, additional compensation for returning to office, true wfh/unlimited vacay
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I get paid less than a tier 2 support agent in the US and my managers keep leaving me behind to their subordinates so I technically keep getting demoted. My manager now is someone my first manager told me wouldn't be a good fit for me as a manager.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Half of the mid-high level management personnel I work with see me as a nuisance of no significant value while the other half who are incredible to work with see me as invaluable. It's awful to keep being put into high-priority initiatives and be disregarded as irrelevant when I'm a high-achiever.
