FM reviews

Changes in recent years have contributed to the long list of cons. Promotions for employees with little to no experience, and no promotion opportunities for the people at the bottom. Overworked employees are now working even more due to the decisions of the company and the inability to replace people who have left. “Inclusive” culture they are striving for has been unsuccessful. It used to be impossible to get fired, but now personal and religious beliefs are not taken into account, and not enough to keep a job here. The premature decision to fire dedicated employees rather than offering the possibility of covid testing or mask wearing in an office (like the federal mandate suggested before it was blocked) is extremely unfortunate. Many employees were also forced into early retirement by December only to find out that most of the company is still working from home until at least March. There are many companies that care about their employees, but lately FM Global doesn’t seem to be one of them.

Management at the top has become completely detached from the front line staff and operations. Change has been relentless over the past 5 years, all with little noticeable improvement. Strategy and vision are non-existent, persistent “keep doing what we’ve always done” mentality. Technology is out of date and does not enable employees to do their job efficiently. Toxic managers are allowed to destroy those that work for them and are continually rewarded despite their behavior. Throughout the pandemic, despite emails from leadership saying otherwise, these toxic managers continued to pressure employees to take on more and more and had no regard for mental health, work/life balance or overall well being. Mass exodus has begun to happen and top management isn’t allowing all the positions to be filled - allowing for more work to be piled onto the already burnt out teams. No regard for those leaving either; I was a long-tenured employee and didn’t even get an exit interview. Mentality of “everyone is replaceable” is prevalent throughout.
