Limited growth opportunities persist due to upper management's lack of practical experience and a tendency to extensively delegate. The work culture is characterized by excessive micromanagement, fostering a feeling of constant surveillance. Throughout the pandemic, strict monitoring of punctuality and attendance overlooked personal circumstances, such as childcare responsibilities. Despite consistent overachievement, competence was predominantly questioned during leaves of absence. Additionally, there was a strategic effort by upper management to close programs based on fabricated information, contributing to a pervasive sense of insecurity and anxiety among teams. Moreover, a two-week allocation of earned PTO proves inadequate for effectively unwinding and mentally distancing from the persisting issue of unfair treatment.
