They made me wear a mask while working in 2021, 2022, and 2023. It was a fast-paced environment

Pros

The only pro I can think of is they have a whole week of Christmas shutdown, and it will not use your vacation.

Cons

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we were required to report to the office three days a week and work for eight hours while wearing masks, creating an uncomfortable and challenging environment.

Furthermore, the fast-paced nature of the work environment, coupled with the negative reviews from our manager and the frequent layoffs every two years, has created an unsettling sense of instability.

To add to the stress, there is no work-life balance, and there have been no opportunities for growth or promotions in the five years I have been with GM, which is true for the rest of my team as well.

We were being told not to give references or recommendations on LinkedIn to team members who got laid off, which kind of upset me as their culture is the worst.

Advice to Management

What's the point of giving advice when they have never changed?
