Going downhill

Pros

People on my immediate team have a strong bond.

Cons

Leadership seems to want to revert to old school, onsite 5 days a week/ slashing of the 401k. All workers have taken an instant pay cut with these moves and leaders do not seem to care. Poor timing on the announcement of RTO knowing the 401k would be cut shows a lack of awareness for the employees.
