Worse than the partisan political silliness is the corporate way Professional Services is run. I hear other departments are run much more like the start up we are. They don't provide 401k or cost of living increases which isn't corporate at all so there is that. They withheld promotions (the only way to increase pay) last year to boost expense ratios for the funding at the end of the year promising to make things right when it was over. They created a bonus plan (which sounded awesome) but when they announced it, the Midmarket side has targets that weren't reachable by anyone. When asked if the targets will be adjusted, the response was 20-25% will meet the targets which was the goal. So withheld any pay raise for a year and then only allow a quarter at best to get any extra pay. Enterprise has targets that are reachable by everyone - which is probably all the ones getting that bonus. They are the favored children, the teachers pet. It feels like forced headcount reduction of the less-than-preferred and with the growth of low cost Argentina workers, it feels like offshoring which is a very corporate unfeeling thing to do.
