Recent Management Changes - Anonymous employee Black & Veatch Employee Review

1. The new CEO/Management gave the infamous and dreaded announcement today: Return to Office (RTO). All employees (excluding virtual for now) must now work 3-days a week in office just because. They gave some flimsy evidence based on non-transparent data and anecdotal experiences that everyone going back to office is the way to go. I foresee them doubling back on virtual employees and forcing them to relocate in the near-future. This was a top down decision out of nowhere, despite being an "employee-owned company." 2. Truthfully, BV has been losing a lot of experienced talent lately due to better opportunities elsewhere since it's easy to hit career ceilings here, and this announcement will drive out the few remaining experienced professionals left and cause many teams to lose projects or work well over 40 hours a week. 3. Project availability has been tight over the past year. Resource managers don't do their jobs, and you're often forced to find your own tasks/projects. Charge code based company, so it can be stressful making sure you have things to work on at every minute of the day in advance since project managers may flake on you and give the work off to someone else or a project may get postponed. In either case you will have to charge to the unassigned time code if you're unfortunate enough to not find any tasks/projects which is a big no-no.
