Thank you for your feedback. We’re committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels heard and supported, so it’s concerning to hear that you’ve experienced a lack of clarity around strategy and shifting directives. While we strive to communicate our strategic goals transparently, we recognize there will always be room for improvement. If you feel directives or plans are unclear, please don’t hesitate to speak up with your manager or a senior leader or through the appropriate feedback channels. Your perspective is incredibly valuable in helping us ensure alignment and clarity for everyone. We truly appreciate your insights and encourage an open dialogue to address any concerns. Let’s work together to make this better.

Too many contradictions

Pros

Remote work and paternity leave

Cons

ELT state it's the best year ever while continually having to do cost cutting exercises. Extremely reactive and willing to tolerate incredibly inappropriate behaviors from senior executives because "that's just them". Accountability is only for those who don't play the corporate game.
