Dear Former Employee,
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve. When our company was founded, our leaders not only built a thriving company but built friendships. The same employees who started with us, are still here today. Naturally, lifelong friendships are formed. With that being said, favoritism regarding pay increases, promotions, and other employment perks are not tolerated. In fact, we promote people based on stellar performance and teamwork rather than tenure. Successfully growing a culture like this requires setting up a system that demonstrates and recognizes contributions and performance on individual and group level. On the downside, it also requires establishing an understanding of consequences, ensuring employees take responsibility and accountability for their performance. Not everyone gets a trophy. We had instances where employees have seen peers getting opportunities they were not receiving and perceiving that as favoritism. On further investigation, it turned out those employees were working extra hours, going above and beyond to earn the confidence of their manager and, ultimately, earning those chances for advancement. But when the boss favors someone in the office without real merit that at its core is unprofessional behavior and is addressed.
Again thank you for your review!
