Toxic Culture and Unsustainable Expectations - Anonymous employee Vessel Technologies Employee Review

Toxic environment: Feedback is rarely constructive and often delivered in a way that feels more like shaming than support. Gaslighting is unfortunately common, creating a culture of fear and self-doubt. No work/life balance: There’s an unspoken expectation that work takes priority over everything. Personal time, commitments, and even basic boundaries are consistently disregarded. Constantly shifting priorities: Tasks and goals change frequently and without clear communication. This makes it nearly impossible to plan or complete anything with confidence. Employees are expected to keep up regardless, often working excessive hours just to stay afloat. Unrealistic demands: The volume and pace of work, combined with the lack of clarity and changing expectations, lead to burnout. There's no real regard for whether the workload is feasible—just pressure to deliver. Lack of respect: Leadership shows little respect for employees’ time, health, or outside responsibilities. It often feels like your personal life must be sacrificed to stay employed.
