Higher Management, layoffs, Outsourcing, KPIs

Micromanagement is extreme — constant trackers, daily check-ins, and oversight that felt more like surveillance than support. Feedback is subjective and personal, focused on “tone” or personality rather than the quality of work. Improvement isn’t tied to clear expectations or measurable outcomes. Directors reinforce the same issues: framing feedback as developmental but ultimately centering on perception, not performance. PIPs (performance improvement plans) are overused and act as a tool to push people out rather than help them succeed. HR gives the appearance of being supportive, but in reality their role is to protect the company, not employees. The company’s messaging about diversity and inclusion does not reflect reality. Leadership lacks representation and equity is not built into day-to-day culture.
