Multiple layoffs. Too much focus on on stakeholders. Need a Johnson and Johnson type or business credo where it's customers>employees>environment/country> stakeholders. There is absolute no care given to the employees. Multiple mental health crisis with people I know. Multiple people leaving for the same job or leaving the field just to leave culture. Of the 2 rounds of layoffs and pseudo layoff we have now none of my actual team was laid off. They all left. That should tell you all you need to know about mid level IT.
Recently rolled back a policy called flex @ express which allowed you to work from anywhere. Now multiple people were hired purely remote and they don't have to come in. Makes sense right? But then if one person's team is remote they need to be in the office for.... Reasons?
Giving x millions to college athletes while having a hiring freeze in place? I love OSU football. Why should a, by all accounts, struggling company be giving NIL deals worth millions instead of giving raises? What about upgrading old obsolete technology? IE 11 has been on its last legs for nearly a decade. Multiple pieces of software that have had upgrades available to leave it behind have been available for nearly 6 years. Yet its ITs job to work against a Microsoft decision to keep antiquated software running. This isn't my first rodeo. I understand sometimes that happens. But the vendor has an upgraded option. Refuse to pay for it, make it someone else's problem down the line.
Current CEO gets an incomplete because he just got there but gutting Flex @ express as a sneaky way to get people to leave without saying your laying off more, while indicating to yahoo finance you plan on making additional operation cost cutting is pretty...ahem..crappy. But hey don't have to pay severances or COBRA right?
