Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for 8+ years of service with Equity Residential! We appreciate you voicing your concerns regarding the podding of communities, and encourage you to speak with your Regional Manager and/or Vice President of Property Management to get a better understanding of the unique operational benefits that these strategic decisions can offer, as well as share your concerns around staffing levels. We also recognize that growth can be defined in many ways; to some it may be taking on additional responsibilities in a current role or making a lateral transition to gain exposure to a different type of asset/team dynamic - to others it may mean an elevated title or a transition to a new department. We’d love to hear more about how you define it and encourage you to share your perspective with your current manager, Human Resources, Organization and Talent Development Department or your local recruiting team.
