AARP reviews

Constant reorganization and leadership changes at all levels. In many cases, new leaders are not the best fit, but know how to play office politics with the senior leaders. Last year we went through a voluntary separation offer, so even more changes. Movement for employees below director level is very difficult and ability is not a major factor for advancement. Little or no movement or chance to grow.

-toxic work culture -not innovative -salary inequities based on failures in transparency, bias and white supremacy and misogynistic women leadership -leadership failure at the highest levels -culture of fear in demanding excellence in a siloed way of thinking and jumping at a moment’s notice -inability to authentically show up and make a meaningful difference in the work you are paid to do -culture of yes -lack of true embedded protections for employees of color -salary and advancement is hidden and impossible to discern how you compare and where you can go - stuck in the past—-true top down culture where the only way to have security is to never disagree with the so called leaders/majority - AARP has real meaningful conflict of interest in the way it does business which impedes the mission work from being meaningfully realized -Much of State office work is dictated from national office despite leaders saying otherwise. -literally treading water over here after 12 years…feel over managed, under utilized and fearful every day I go to work -I have to decide if I will use my brain or just my head to smile and nod and agree, while slowly dying inside -Searching for a truly empowering opportunity where I can make a good impact, and use my brain
