Past 36 months had an across-the-board raise of 3% during the worse 2 years of inflation in decades. They also eliminated all bonuses, so effectively they gave everyone a massive pay decrease. Multiple waves of layoffs with no communication afterwards. You only find out a coworker is gone through the rumor mill or showing up at a client meeting with absent team members. Basically the Canadian stock price is all that matters to Mike, the owner. If he said Quisitive was employee-centric everyone would laugh (or cry).
