A good company to work for, unless you are an older worker
A good company to work for, unless you are an older worker
- Brand name
- Decent salary
- Technical industry leader
- Diverse workforce, including many younger people
- Being an older worker means zero job security.
- If your "supervisor" is half your age, they may not think you work very hard.
- It's very performance-driven, unless the quotas are hidden from you.
- If stock is not performing up to snuff, there will be mass contractor layoffs.
- Management gives you zero feedback sessions, even when you ask.
- It's VERY important to fit in, as this will determine your job security.
- Red badges, i.e. contractors, are extremely expendable.
- They will hire younger workers with non-relevant, non-tech degrees; for example, interior design. I'm not sure how that relates to being a TAC engineer.
- I loved working there until I took my African American wife (I am white) to a company picnic, then suddenly I became a "problem worker."
- Contractors have zero HR nor Equal Opportunity protections.
- Start looking into age discrimination protection for older workers.
- Allow contractors the same legal protections as permanent party personnel.
- Conduct mandatory monthly performance reviews of contractors, document reviews, and share written feedback with those you review.
- If there are performance quotas/metrics, publicly acknowledge them.
