We had a meeting awhile ago and the CEO tells us
I. All is fine
II. Everything the news says is fake
III. CEO starts singing ghostbusters to us
Then immediately says that we'll have to make tough decisions about office closures (please see anyone complaining about the toronto office)
We don't want to hear that, we don't want to hear you sing ghostbusters, are you kidding me? When you are the only one that is saying that the whole world is crazy, maybe you're the crazy one. You fall 9 times out 10? You need to reevaluate the way that you're walking because something is not right.
This didn't give out full performance based bonuses (which is illegal for those that hit their goals. We worked hard for that). Many of us needed those bonuses so we could afford to leave and start looking for another job.
They don't hire/promote within. They hire people that don't even know the curriculum or the job they are doing so then the people (please realize i'm saying people not person this is an organization issue) that do know it, have to pick up the slack until it becomes a daily part of their job or tasks. This either shows 1. They don't trust their employees to do it, or 2. They don't prepare or train their employees to starting taking on the responsibility.
Post coronavirus
Just had a meeting where they said:
I. Raise freeze (even though it's already three months into the year, and they will not provide retroactive raises)
II. Promotion freeze
III. Stock was the highest it's been in a year this past month
IV. But we are asking you to step up and take additional responsibilities, and maybe in 4-7 months you'll look good for a promotion but again the problem is they don't promote from within.
