Thoughtless and Stubborn Management Ruins an Otherwise Good Experience
Thoughtless and Stubborn Management Ruins an Otherwise Good Experience
Interesting problems, coworkers are generally excellent, and the campus is beautiful. Compensation is good for the area. The sabbatical program is unique. The work is meaningful.
Management is stubborn and refuses categorically to listen to employee concerns. This has become more evident lately, especially with regards to the COVID-19 response. Despite being a healthcare company, Epic insists that employees return to the office in August without giving good reasons to justify the decision. Communication from leadership is often tone-deaf and demotivating. Employee satisfaction is a non-concern. Stock options are awful. Vacation policy is stingy, with only seven and a half paid holidays to supplement.
Listen to your employees' concerns, and realize that if you can't justify a decision, it may be because your decision is unjustifiable. If you are the only person with a particular opinion, you may want to consider re-thinking it. Don't hand-wave over employee concerns and expect blind compliance; this attitude may work in the short term, but it will cost you employee loyalty in droves.
