A shadow of what it once was
A shadow of what it once was
I have some amazing colleagues who I genuinely love working with.
People are generally very decent and respectful, and there are far fewer egomaniacs than I have encountered at other similarly sized companies.
In the 6 years that I’ve been at Workday, I’ve watched it morph from a really unique, employee-centric, & values-driven company into just another big tech company. Unfortunately, leadership will not own up to this. As the “employee first” culture that they pretend still exists is literally the only value proposition for potential employees, compensation is below average and the tech stack is a disaster.
Stop gaslighting your people.
Carl needs to stand up and say this is what the company is now.
Yes, the culture has changed and will continue to do so. Profitability is now far more important than “our number 1 value”.
Stop gaslighting us with crocodile tears and pretending we are family while simultaneously engaging in mass layoffs.
People will respect these changes if they are communicated honestly and the actual reasoning is put forward. Take some accountability and own these decisions.
Or just get rid of Carl, to be honest.
