Top-down leaders without the courage to be bold and only defer to the norm when making decisions. The leaders use consultants to do all of their work, funding the educated and wealthy instead of the lower-income communities in California. Lack of coordination and poor communication by executives and directors resulting in an ineffectual and scattered work environment with confused employees. HR, communications, evaluation, DEI, and legal departments are particularly atrocious, mean-spirited, harmful, clueless, and hypocritical, driving away the best staff members. The DEI work is disappointingly ineffectual and superficial, even tokenistic. Executive leaders are self-promoting and concerned about their legacy and reputations more than communities. They just talk and don't act when it comes to being real to support the community. The organization has gone downhill. You may see hopeful messages, but those messages are all done by outsiders, and clearly not understood or practiced by those in charge. In general, staff feel unheard, dejected, frustrated and overwhelmed.
