(Some parts may be limited to my country or particular JCI business unit) -During my 20 months of employment, the only factor driving changes was cost saving. There were constant transformations, most of which have failed. They were either poorly planned or underresourced. At some point, the cost saving obsession got so bad, that all there was left was to terminate people with very little consideration on the business continutity. Some transformations failed, because they eliminated people responsible for driving them. -My job was eliminated while the stock price was at record high. We faced budget challenges constantly and we had to terminate someone every few months, despite the team being already stretched to maximum. -We had no teambuildings, no events, no food in the office, no merch. 140 years JCI anniversary party was limited to a single muffin per person. When I asked about the teambuilding options, I was suggested to host a teambuilding event at my place, for my own money (no thanks). -The company is very cautious about their employee engagement score, but they refuse to make any decisions that would help drive this - salaries, resources, backfills, bonuses, career path/development, benefits, team events. Instead, they put all the blame on the lowest management level, demanding improvements and action plans. -Any position in JCI right now is uncertain and can be eliminated randomly -Lack of benefits that support employee wellbeing - sick days, sick pay, pension contribution, parental leave
