Quickly Declining - Corporate Recruiter Medpace Employee Review

Loved the company for years before that turned on a dime in the past 6 months. If retention is not a factor they care to consider, then it makes sense why they aren’t treating people well. The company and industry is not as stable as it has been in previous years and that’s trickling down to bonuses and merit increases but leadership says they’re small this year because of “lower inflation”. HR has an insiders view of what goes on and employees are been tracked, watched and heavily scrutinized to the point where they are actively looking for you to violate the wfh policy on a monthly basis… trust me. I personally was affected when I was incorrectly punished for “violating the WFH policy” by them taking away my annual WFH days when they pulled my employee badge swipes. Was approached about overuse of WFH, proved that I was in office but had to use a guest badge for an extended period of time (which was why my employee badge swipe data was pulling incorrectly). It was acknowledged by leadership that their data was incorrect and I was in fact in office, BUT they were not going to be giving me the days back that they removed from my WFH bank because “it’d be unfair to others to go back and reconsider the punishment for one person but not others”. To me, what seemed unfair and unethical was continuing a punishment for a trusted and loyal employee that was proven to have followed the policy exactly as they were supposed to. Then subsequently I was not given a promotion even though I was consistently a top ranked, if not the top ranked employee in my role. There has been weird “security and safety” excuses for enforcing the requirement of a badge swipe to exit a building. Doesn’t make sense and did not come off as honest HR’s hands are often tied with a lot of things because decisions are ultimately made by executives, including the recent RTO policy change.
