Sinking Ship with Empty Promises
Sinking Ship with Empty Promises
• Good catered food • Strong developers and PMs • Nice office
New VPs and C-Levels come in and out the door. Strongest voices enter the room with no sound reasoning, just with the "loudest voice in the room" syndrome.
Due to the previous point, the company is on a spiraling down trajectory, with continual cyclical periods where we work to achieve something that failed miserably 1.5 years ago.
Certain leaders are emotionally abusive, creating a work environment that feels truly unsafe.
User churn continues to grow as users realize there is little to no value in the app, and we have already lost most of our interested base of users to other competitors such as Insight Timer and Calm.
Good work isn't appreciated; instead, there is strong nepotism and favoritism towards the select few in the room.
Sexism is present as you move towards VP and C-Level.
Leaders expect contributors to churn out work, leading to complete burnout.
No hope.
