TVA reviews

Many companies talk about valuing people and how people are their greatest asset. It is my opinion that this value was poorly implemented during a recent re-organization that led to my departure from the company. I know these kinds of changes are difficult and are, to some degree, just business, but there is still a way to handle things that values people for their contributions. I have never in my life felt more devalued personally and professionally, so that is definitely one con I have for TVA.

TVA does a massive reorganization about every three years. It's scary as hell. They have very poor performance management so the low performers survive (they NEVER fire anyone and they don't give performance based raises). Consequently, they have to do reorgs to reduce headcount (most organizations would just manage out the low performers). But it is a really excruciating exercise for highly conscientious high performers - because you are under constant threat of job loss.
