Not What It Used To Be - Executive Assistant American Water Employee Review

The workplace environment has undergone drastic changes, with executive management increasingly focused on results at the expense of employee well-being. While expectations for performance have escalated, wages have failed to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Annual raises, if received at all, are typically a mere 2%, hardly enough to make ends meet. Moreover, the toxic atmosphere cultivated by management has made navigating daily tasks a challenge. Chaos reigns supreme, and toxicity permeates every interaction, making it difficult to thrive professionally. For those nearing retirement, leaving may seem unfeasible, leaving them trapped in an environment that prioritizes profits over people. Overall, the combination of stagnant wages, unrealistic expectations, and a toxic culture make this workplace a challenging and unrewarding environment.
