Smart Team, Hustle Culture
Smart Team, Hustle Culture
Pay and benefits are good. You learn a lot. People around you are smart.
Process and people do try their best to create mechanisms to increase fairness and reduce biases in everything people-related.
Hustle culture. Frontline managers have no incentives to actually think about people other than the minimal. Senior leaders are hit or miss; some are good people and some are bad people. Some jerks work 7 days per week and, consciously or not, expect you to do the same.
Be deliberate and explicit about work-life balance boundaries. Don't only say "you own your agenda." Not everyone has that "soft skill" or emotional intelligence, and because of managers like you, they burn out, they leave, they get mentally scarred for life.
