My boss is not very good and shows favoritism

Remote services engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very good, but a lot of time I just want to quit without notice, log off my computer and walk away

Cons

I work for a boss who clearly shows favoritism. She allows her pets to shrug off work, to jump the line in the call queue, so they dont ever have to take calls. And she acknowledges their birthdays with much fanfare, emojis and giffs on teams, while the rest of us, the "hoy paloy" (thats how it makes me feel) never get any recognition.. That is the worst part. Being openly ignored... Nothing makes you feel like you are worthless, than a boss who treats you like you are worthless..

Pros

A large company with a well-established business model.

Cons

Tons of work and little pay. It seems selective about who gets paid fairly and who doesn't. Lots of very racist employees, especially from Europe and the USA. HR is completely useless to end the cycle.

A once great culture, killed

Business Outlook

Pros

Unfortunately due to the current state of the company there aren’t any I can think of.

Cons

This company has fallen from grace. It. completely killed the culture that once made it a great place to work, it deprioritized communicating with employees and has become a place where you can expect burnout without recognition. Top talent is fleeing.
