• Senior leadership made questionable strategic decisions, especially around return-to-office policies.
• RTO was enforced in a one-size-fits-all manner, with no regard for performance, role type, or location.
• The policy seemed less about collaboration and more about control, leading to unnecessary turnover and career disruption.
• There was a general lack of transparency and empathy from upper management. Decisions that impacted people’s lives were made unilaterally, with little to no communication.
• Morale has declined significantly due to inconsistent priorities and a clear disconnect between leadership and teams doing the actual work.
• Many talented people were either pushed out or left voluntarily, not because of performance issues, but because they could no longer tolerate the arbitrary enforcement of outdated office norms.
