      Once a Trusted Workplace, Now at a Tipping Point

      Pros

      Talented, Collaborative Teams: The company has skilled and supportive teams, making day-to-day work rewarding and collaborative. Hybrid Work Flexibility: Previously, the company embraced a flexible, hybrid work culture that treated employees with trust and respect, fostering a positive work-life balance. Experience with Sage Products: Years of experience with Sage products have provided valuable industry knowledge and expertise.

      Cons

      Shift to Profit-Driven Culture: The focus on shareholder profits has increased, often at the expense of employee wellbeing. Decisions like office closures appear profit-driven, with little regard for employees' needs. Decline in Flexibility and Trust: The company is moving towards stricter monitoring of remote work, which undermines the autonomy and trust that were once integral to its culture. Promotion and Leadership Issues: Career growth often seems based on connections rather than skill, resulting in frustration for employees who have dedicated years of service. Lack of Employee Retention Focus: The company's willingness to replace employees with contractors reflects a "replaceable" mindset, overlooking the long-term value of retaining experienced staff. Disillusionment with Sage Products Post-Exit: After extensive involvement of more than 2 decades with Sage products, current practices have reduced motivation to continue working with Sage products in the future

      Pros

      The people are the only good thing about Sage

      Cons

      The false promises, lies from management. Forcing people into the office with zero consultation has been very damaging for the mental health for 100s, if not 1000’s of employees. There is absolutely no justification for this but just to get bums on seats of their new premises. It doesn’t make any sense when people have been working from home for years, with no negative impact on work output. In fact, productivity is up! But the message is clear from the top “you know where the door is, see ya!” So much for the Sage values of “trust”, “do the right thing” etc etc - just corporate garbage.
