Upper Management vs Employees

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

My immediate coworkers are smart, dedicated, and I enjoy working with them.

Cons

Somehow Upper Management has made this company a miserable place to work in a short time. Hiring freezes, not allowed to backfill positions when already short staffed. Compensation is (and has been) below market and upper management will cut bonuses to make earnings. Which seems reasonable, until you realize that without bonuses, salaries are 15% under peers, according to Xcel’s own numbers. Hypocrisy in upper management - “cost pressures” and leading the “green energy transition” but still flying corporate jets (plural). Last straw is new return to office mandate - suspect it’s to increase attrition for cost reasons but will have biggest impact on DEI. No reason to stay any more.
