Leadership needs to learn to trust their team, reward performance, and stop penalizing those who excel. Rather than leveraging the experience and insight of their employees, senior leadership often speaks at them, not with them. This results in a top-down culture of micromanagement that hinders autonomy and lowers morale.
The company lacks a clear and consistent strategy. There’s little transparency around the broader company vision, and priorities are changing weekly. Team/company goals and compensation plans are constantly changed, with no notice or clear reason why. When high performers bring in meaningful business, compensation structures are suddenly revised, commissions capped, or earnings retroactively reduced. It consistently feels like leadership is more focused on minimizing payouts and growth rather than on recognizing success.
Concerns about unclear goals and a deteriorating culture were raised to leadership multiple times, yet no meaningful action was taken. While the company brands itself as respectful and collaborative—with endless documentation, corporate jargon, and emojis—its not genuine. There's a greater focus on maintaining their appearance than on creating an environment where employees feel secure, valued, and respected. The company’s actions speak louder than its values.
