Toxic fire-drill culture
Toxic fire-drill culture
Recently went IPO over the summer.
The IPO doesn't mean anything to 99% of employees, since none of us got stock options, nor did they roll out a Stock Purchase Plan while I was there. This underscores the company does not care about its employees; there are no performance reviews, no bonuses, and no cost-of-living increases.
Several members on my team received technical certifications and even higher education degrees, but with no recognition or salary increase.
It went from being an environment of innovation to a culture of "yes-men," micromanagement, and groveling (literally, I saw VPs take a groveling posture to the C-levels when they approached or spoke to them).
You know you are losing your best employees now because of the toxic culture you built. If you're smart, you'll put in the effort to focus on the 'why's'.
