can't really think of anything, maybe limited headcount for junior staffs

The company clearly caters to its senior fellows, much to the frustration of its associate staff. 3 days a week in the office is unnecessary and clearly a tactic to bring lazy staff into the office and conform to leadership's dislike of remote work. There were even threats to monitor keycard swipes of staff to ensure their presence. This was clearly a targeted aim at senior staff that work remotely and travel, but associate staff are left to be punished. 3-5% raises per annum are negligible in this economy and because of the level of bureaucracy, there's no way to plead your case for more. There's a strong lack of direction from up top, which trickles down to each program and department.
