Leadership is not making decisions based on data or consensus, but seemingly on the whim of a few at the top. They do not ask for feedback, nor do they care when it's given. Decisions change frequently, and rarely have planning or guidance behind them. Employees are left floundering and expected to hold the weight of the lack of management/leadership/planning.

It feels like we're trying to grow from a start up to a mature company overnight, and making risky and possibly destructive decisions to get there. Forced return to office and relocating employees (despite high productivity and growth from being remote for years) is the latest in the string of disappointing decisions, and I'm extremely concerned for the direction we're headed. There is now a hard career ceiling unless you live in San Francisco.
