Pros
Advocacy for work-life balance: Leaders and managers for the most part seem pretty understanding and encourage team members to voice their needs, whether it is spending time with the children or family at home, taking frequent breaks, or having shorter meetings... At least in theory. These are all ideas that were so frequently repeated and discussed in meetings with management that you hope, if not for you, it happens for someone, somewhere.
Cons
Confusing corporate terminology: At the onset of the pandemic the company's executive officers pledged a steadfast commitment to "Transformative Growth." This makes sense because by definition, if something grows, it also transforms. The phrase is grammatically sound. Some mistakenly believed it meant company performance would grow faster than the number of COVID cases. During a Town Hall meeting in early spring we were told Transformative Growth meant that there would be a 0% reduction in the work force. However, three months later management said that, due to Transformative Growth, the company would see an 8% reduction in workforce. It was unsettling and many troubled employees started working late, often past 8:00pm or 9:00pm local time, performing due diligence and internet searches for all possible definitions of "Transformative Growth." It later turned out that the phrase was just a colloquialism for "shareholder profit." After this realization, things settled down and 92% of the original work force went about their day.
