Too political and no growth opportunities
Too political and no growth opportunities
Takes ethics seriously and does not tolerate wrongdoing at any level.
Promotions are based on who knows whom, and performance does not matter. Also, lately, in the name of inclusion and diversity, the company has created an unspoken rule of a preferred race and non-preferred race for promotions.
The leaders in the company openly talk about quotas for increasing promotions for folks in the preferred race, aka minorities. Nobody is against promoting anyone as long as they deserve it. However, when an individual is promoted solely because of their race, it is wrong.
Also, the company recently decided to stop campaign contributions to congressmen who were just doing what their constituents wanted them to do, and that is another example of far-left-leaning leaders in the company.
Great people are leaving the company left and right due to the petty politics and toxic environment, especially within Technology, created by you. Stop left-leaning politics and act on feedback that you receive annually, which never seems to get actioned upon.
