The expectations regarding onsite versus offsite work are unrealistic. HR hasn't enforced an onsite schedule for the entire company, likely due to only half of the HR employees being onsite (which could appear hypocritical). Consistent guidelines should be established company-wide rather than leaving it to individual managers, especially since many lack expertise.
Speaking of managers, there is a significant issue with the quality of leadership being hired. Many of those in leadership positions lack the skills to effectively communicate with, promote, and support their employees. My own manager had no prior experience, and our one-on-one meetings were consistently uncomfortable. This led me to contemplate leaving the company. I know many others who feel the same about their bosses.
When I provided feedback about my work experience, it seemed as though my comments were dismissed or downplayed.
I never realized favoritism existed until I started working at this job. My manager went out of their way to make it clear that they didn't like me, which was particularly puzzling. This highlights a leadership issue. It's crucial to ensure that you're hiring the best, most ethical, reasonable, and communicative individuals to keep the team on track. Please refrain from hiring individuals with peculiar personalities who are unaware of the role they are stepping into. Leaders should excel as communicators and demonstrate empathy toward each individual on their team.
The community and environment here predominantly involve gossiping behind others' backs, a lack of trust between departments, and insincere interests.
The company frequently cites the need for "restructuring" as a means to remove individuals at higher levels without directly terminating them. The truth is widely known among employees.
High turnover in management positions puts employees in awkward positions when speaking up for themselves and consistently asking for promotions.
It is apparent that individuals who are responsible for childcare or have newborns often face layoffs or job eliminations when required to work onsite. Meanwhile, others who work remotely face no such issues while also caring for children. This lack of support for diversity and inclusion highlights a significant problem within the company. If you don't conform to the majority's behavior, you risk being marginalized.
Moreover, there's an immense amount of responsibility placed on employees, and failure to meet these expectations often results in termination.
