Beware of burnout and insane managers - Information Technology Thatcher Technology Group, LLC Employee Review

Thank you for taking time to send us feedback. It is unfortunate that you did not bring up your concern regarding burnout prior to your departure. A quick Google search will provide information that most industries and professions experience burnout at some time during an employee’s career. Add all the circumstances surrounding Covid-19, and the number has increased significantly across the board. Many professionals believe burnout occurs due to situations outside of the workplace. Top burnout professions are physicians, nurses, retail and fast food workers. Thatcher cares about our employees. Thatcher has practices and resources in place to help our employees if they feel burnout. At Thatcher we stress communication and feedback. Not only does Thatcher practice an open-door policy where employees can speak with managers, the executive team or human resources regarding concerns - managers and staff have scheduled, reoccurring 1:1 meetings. Employees are able to bring up concerns, discuss professional goals and ways they want to improve their craft. Employees are encouraged to share their ideas of professional development and/or improvements for the team. Employees must be active participants in these conversations. Managers, the executive team and human resources are not able to address concerns if they are not made aware of issues. If employees are looking for outside help to manage the circumstances around burnout, Thatcher offers two different Employee Assistant Plans (EAPs) for employees. One is tied to the health insurance provider, and the other is open to all employees after two months of employment and covers immediate and some extended family members. Both EAPs are confidential and services are either free or at a reduced cost depending on the services. EAP information is presented at new hire orientation, physically posted by human resources, emailed, sent through SLACK, and discussed during at least one of the Thatcher Employee Quarterly Meetings. We wish you well in your future!
