Revvity reviews

- Insulting Compensation: Yearly raises were withheld entirely one year, and since then, increases have been negligible—3% if you're lucky. No recognition for increased workload or performance. - Disorganization: There’s no structure, no prioritization, and no accountability. Requests come from every direction, often through a dozen chaotic Teams group chats. Interruptions are constant, and leadership seems either unaware or uninterested in fixing it. - Leadership vacuum: Managers appear to have abdicated most responsibilities. There’s no guidance, no planning, and no effort to shield the team from the noise. It is very unclear what managers actually do because they do not actually perform the basic functions of their role. This seems to be a company-wide issue. - Scope creep: My workload has grown over 200% in six months, with no change in title, pay, or support. I barely have time to complete my core responsibilities, let alone the avalanche of new tasks dumped on me. - No advancement, no appreciation: Taking on more work only leads to more work. There’s no path forward, no career development, and no acknowledgment of the effort. The company is aware it has serious issues, evident by the emails I keep receiving about changes based on feedback. But my personal experience is that everything has been getting worse this year. Better communication doesn't mean "everyone talks to everyone." That just leads to constant interruptions and a lot of noise. Managers don't perform their main function of buffering workers from these interruptions and organizing and distributing new work. Workers not only have to do their own job, we have to keep up with a mountain of messages and emails throughout the day. It's common to be interrupted several times every hour throughout the day. This is devastating on productivity to a coder. Leadership is setting up the company to fail. Maybe they're just out of touch and don't understand that our work cannot progress just from meetings and messages.
