Prepare for massive layoffs

Pros

Money is no longer a motivating factor

Cons

Management that does nothing but criticize work. A CEO that doesn’t care about the people running his company. Mentally drained co-workers who are starting to wake up to the years of abuse.

NDAs + Wickedly Cruel Culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Money / benefits is the only reason anyone works there.

Cons

Fires people constantly and gets them to sign NDAs with promise of severance/bonus to avoid people sharing their employee experiences only. Last two weeks, two high-performing people have been fired from my team. Both weren’t legally allowed to talk about why they are leaving suddenly… Rude management that disrespects employees lower on the “hierarchy” than themselves Feels like you’re constantly being watched, like there are spies in the open office. Creepy + mysterious things around the office including no cameras inside / outside the building except in parking lot. Not being allowed to talk about personal life with coworkers. No information about the ceo JACK DELANEY online.
