Relias reviews

Relias has just gone through the THIRD round of layoffs in the last six months. A lot of high quality and culture shaping people were in the crosshairs in this most recent RIF. It's disappointing to see so many great people being let go and NOT A SINGLE person in senior management being let go. You see it in all of the other reviews - punishing the people who are making things happen and not punishing the people who are actually making the decisions. On top of that, the pay is STILL below market - despite the propaganda being told from upper management that it's on par if not above market. They talk about DEI, but there's no representation in senior management and it feels like it's just something they're trying to check off a list to say 'look at what we're doing!'. It seems the mistakes were made with Nurse, and they went to market way too early and the people who make Relias, Relias are being let go.

Upper management. They ignore issues until they can't be ignored, then layoff the people that had nothing to do with the poor decisions. C-level: CEO is mostly absent. He is at the All Hands meeting but has no insight or engagement. Almost immediately hands off microphone to someone else. Previous CEO was engaged with employees at all levels. Chief Product Officer can't communicate well - his comments are full of buzz words that don't convey any real information. He has been running engineering for the past couple of years and done it poorly. Chief People Officer, when trying to announce the return to office policy that was poorly written called the people on the call cynical because they had legitimate questions. She disappeared from communicating for a few weeks but never acknowledged her poor response. Management routinely waves their hand and says not to worry about metrics that are in the red because some new initiative is going to bring that into the green, but every quarter it's still red. In general, the management has some great published corporate values that they don't follow and will punish those that do (Healthy Debate, Data Driven Decision Making?) Compensation is low for the area.
