The culture of collaboration we once knew has been replaced by a culture of blame. New, uninspiring leaders have turned teamwork into a game of finger-pointing, where the goal is no longer to improve together, but to find fault in others.
Leaders brand their work as "new" simply by tearing down what came before it. We're told we've "been doing this all wrong," but we're offered no guidance, no coaching...just a reset button that allows them to claim credit for the same work under a different name.
The work is no longer about strategic planning or thoughtful execution—it's a series of chaotic fire drills with unrealistic expectations. Projects are initiated without clear goals or a defined scope, leaving us to piece together the details under immense pressure. This isn't agility; it's a lack of foresight and a symptom of leadership's failure to plan, creating a constant state of urgency and burning out the very people they rely on to actually do the work.
Our internal processes are a study in chaos, especially within HR. The "real vibes, real people" tagline is a joke in an organization where managers belittle employees without consequence. HR has become a spectator, offering no protection and taking zero action to address legitimate issues. It's not a question of if a lawsuit will happen, but when.
Career progression is a one-way street, open only to those from a specific company in this new regime. We are forced to watch as the organization is built on a foundation of incompetence and favoritism, where loyalty to a select few matters more than what's best for the company. It's not a business strategy, it's a social club, and it's infuriating to watch the business suffer for it.
