This place is a joke and I'm invested in an exit plan. Leadership obviously is in love with liberal ideology. The company has no plans to end its horrible DEI program. No reason to stick around.

Décrivez brièvement votre expérience globale dans votre entreprise.

I think FMB has gone drastically downhill since Mark Hardwick became CEO. The values of the company no longer align with my personal values, and I am aggressively seeking employment outside of FMB. This is no place for conservative, Christian, white males.

Pourquoi vous sentez-vous sous-évalué et qu’est-ce qui vous rassurerait par rapport à votre rémunération?

Better compensation and benefits are always better.

De quoi l’équipe de direction a-t-elle besoin pour s’améliorer?

Please stop bowing down to the woke mob.

Pourquoi vous sentez-vous sous-évalué et qu’est-ce qui vous rassurerait par rapport à votre rémunération?

Obviously, higher compensation to keep up with inflation is the correct answer.

Qu’est-ce que vos collègues doivent améliorer et comment pouvez-vous mieux travailler ensemble?

If everyone was capable of doing their jobs that would be great.

Qu’est-ce qui est le plus positif à propos de la culture et de l’environnement de votre entreprise?

I do not agree with the direction of the culture/environment that we are on.

Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas et comment cela peut-il être amélioré?

The company went woke and I'm not sticking around for it to go broke.

Pourquoi vous sentez-vous sous-évalué et qu’est-ce qui vous rassurerait par rapport à votre rémunération?

Pay raises to match the inflation of the past 4 years would go a long way.

De quoi l’équipe de direction a-t-elle besoin pour s’améliorer?

Read the room. The overwhelming majority of the country is fed up with DEI. Its time for it to DIE.

Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas et comment cela peut-il être amélioré?

Stop forcing DEI initiatives down our throats. As a straight, white, Christian, male, I feel like there is no special group for me. I am the most hated subgroup in this company.

Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas et comment cela peut-il être amélioré?

Woke culture/political bias are super apparent and have been since around 2021. Just be a bank and stop taking sides in political issues on facebook. We don't have to virtue signal at every opportunity.

De quoi l’équipe de direction a-t-elle besoin pour s’améliorer?

Mark Hardwick has the audacity to put out a video about how much he "loves our DE&I program and says we're not changing anything" Then 2 weeks later the bank quietly rebrands it to Building Community. Hilariously sneaky.

Qu’est-ce qui est le plus positif à propos de la culture et de l’environnement de votre entreprise?

I can't think of much. Half of the BCM's in my region have quit this year. The retail market lead is no longer with FMB. I think the problems start all the way at the top with the woke culture that has been established.

Qu’est-ce qui est le plus positif à propos de la culture et de l’environnement de votre entreprise?

I can't really point to anything great about the culture since Mark Hardwick became CEO. He sends out a Christmas video wearing a T-shirt from some exotic location while the rest of us peasants are freezing here at work. "Buy this book and I'll reimburse you". What a joke.

Qu’est-ce que vos collègues doivent améliorer et comment pouvez-vous mieux travailler ensemble?

I have one co-worker that is somehow able to call off every Monday and never works consective days. She claims to have some medical condition but admits to going out drinking and abusing the situation. The bank won't fire her. Another employee sleeps every day and somehow keeps his job.
