New CEO started in summer of 2022. Due to a poorly executed return to office mandate, a lot of people lost trust in him and don't like any of the decisions coming from CEO office. Most if not all of the former leadership has also "retired". New leadership seems to be very demanding, which flows down through the ranks. It is a much more demanding environment now. Many employees feel there is a lot more questioning and blaming rather than collaboratively solving problems. This also leads to more micro-management and distrust. It seems like a tug of war between Black & Veatch's previous collaborative and friendly environment and a new culture of questioning and blaming. We are constantly told about the benefits of being "Employee Owned".. yet employees have little influence on decisions made from CEO. Employees seem much less happy and excited to work these days.
