Have you become toxic lately?
Amazing benefits and good pay. Some decent teammates.
The place has become toxic lately, with everyone fearful of their jobs, stressed, and overworked. The famed Atlassian values are no longer a thing; it's just another tool for management to use against you.
Management has been given new PIP targets by new leadership. So, although there are no public layoffs (at least for now), silent layoffs continue to happen quietly. People are being managed out or are being put on PIP to avoid severance.
This is barely a year after the founders had provided a target to double the headcount from 12k to 24k.
People are actively colluding to set up coworkers. Stack ranking is a thing, where employees within a leader's org are being stack-ranked. Managers are deliberately misguiding employees in 1:1s and setting them up for failure or giving them unreasonable targets so that they fail.
Management doesn't need or care for our advice.
