Mechanism Reviews

• I came in expecting something simple, two days in and three remote, because that was the arrangement when I signed on. Within a couple of months, that already started changing. • Talk of returning to three days in the office came quickly, and I adjusted, only to watch the rules keep shifting again. • Some managers allowed people to work from anywhere while others enforced stricter expectations, and nobody higher up clarified what was actually correct. • I spent more energy figuring out where I was supposed to be than doing the work itself. • By the end, I stopped asking what the rules were because the answers constantly changed, and trying to follow them felt pointless.

• This initially seemed like a strong opportunity, but the longer I stayed, the more serious issues became impossible to ignore. • Leadership appears completely lost, and major decisions frequently make little sense to the people doing the actual work. • The role drifted far from what was originally described, yet employees were still expected to meet constantly shifting goals. • Many individuals seemed more focused on protecting their own image than supporting team success. • Trust was extremely difficult to build because blame was often shifted to protect personal standing. • The steady stream of employee departures was impossible to overlook, and the high turnover made it clear many others reached the same conclusion. • Even at the CEO level, constant changes only added to the instability.
