The current work environment has become toxic, marked by micromanagement, blame-shifting, and a lack of genuine leadership. Many managers display poor management practices, yet HR consistently sides with them, leaving engineers unsupported. This shows little regard for the engineers who keep systems running, drive innovation, and dedicate significant effort to advancing the company and growing membership.
Additionally, there are too many layers of management, with some managers prioritizing personal gain over team success. They manipulate performance ratings to secure a larger share of the bonus pool, often at the expense of their direct reports. Such practices undermine morale, fairness, and innovation across the organization.
