Abbott Puts on a Pretty Public Face - Anonymous employee Abbott Employee Review

- The CEO clearly communicates his disdain for employees' ability to choose a flexible work/life balance, and enforce mandates for in-office work policies with absolutely zero proof to substantiate his claims that people 'work better when they sit in an office'. So have fun sitting in your car in traffic for hours every day, because, you know, that's efficient and beneficial for the company. - The company publicly supports diversity & inclusion, but internally fails to communicate/show support for LGBTQ+, Black History, Indigenous People, etc. Name a minority holiday and you won't see leaders talk about it - only people who lead employee resource groups who are the real heroes. - Yearly increases are measly 2-3% (if you're lucky) and nowhere near meeting cost of living/inflation increases. - People are promoted by 'who you know', not by who deserves it. BAD managers/leaders continue to have jobs and get promoted while they cut away at individual contributors and make teams so lean they can barely function. - At the core, they don't care about the people. They care about the shareholders.
