• Frequent Layoffs & Uncertain Job Security: Management’s cost-cutting measures often translate into periodic layoffs. Teams may see sudden reductions that affect overall morale and create a sense of instability.
• Risk During Probation: Employees still in their probation period may be let go without much warning or severance, leading to uncertainty right from the start.
• Reactive Hiring Practices: The company sometimes hires aggressively, only to realize the budget constraints later and resort to layoffs, which can disrupt career growth and project continuity.
• Overburdening of Remaining Staff: When entire departments (e.g., QA) are eliminated, the responsibilities are shifted to other teams, often causing stress and potential burnout.
• Constant Restructuring: Management frequently experiments with team structures. While change can be positive, repeated reorganizations without a clear long-term plan can lead to confusion and reduced productivity.
