Pay - this year the raises and merit were horrible. And the canned responses about how the company offers marketable compensation to the position and location is laughable. If it is comparable, how come people are leaving left and right to new positions. Maybe focus on what we as associates are saying we want vs sending us coffee cups and hot chocolate. We hear constantly about our surplus yet it doesn't trickle down to the ones actually doing the work.
The push to return to the office. The in office culture is not needed. Many teams are doing their best work from home currently and are being successful in using the technology that we have. By pushing us back into the office all you are telling us is that you don't trust us and you want us back in the office so you can hover and watch us. The reposnses about flexibility in our hybrid is not consistent across the company. Some managers are saying flexible and others are being hard and fast, no deviation to the set scehdules.
The workload in not something we can keep up in the long run. We get through a push of work and management and the business just keep adding to the mountain of what they expect us to finish.
HR is not helpful. We get told to voice our concerns to management and HR and its like speaking to a brick wall. Those that do speak up are brushed off, given the minimum assistance or made to feel like we are crazy for thinking there is an issue.
On the other hand too many associates are afraid to actually have honest conversations with their supervisors for fear of retaliation.
The Board of Directors needs diversity. There are very few women and no people of color. They are stuck in the past and it shows.
