Declining workplace culture and weak Senior Leadership - Anonymous employee LHH Employee Review

Flexible hours. High client volume.

None I can think of right now.

None to speak of really

Exploitative WFH culture that weaponizes visibility, and protects middle management even when their behavior is full on destructive which fuels a moral hazard issue whereby bad leaders can put on “face” and feel invincible. Unusually long “meetings” of managers fanning their superiority and belittling you, or focusing on short sighted optics. Members of my team routinely compared their one-on-one interactions in an effort to make sense of concerning behavior. Recruiting, many sales regions and pricing are clown cars of bad management. Don’t expect fair compensation or investment in any capacity regardless of how well you perform or what they have promised. Being a high performer does not change that - they simply learn to game you. These issues are so deeply entrenched due to moral hazard that they’re baked into the culture. Echoing others: “You will need therapy during and after ” but they will not pay you enough to afford it. They manage by micromanagement and fear. “Even if you do a great job if you are not a favorite you will have a difficult time here. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing your job if you are not accepted, however I think that’s their strategy,” said another and to add to that, credit for your work if arduous will go to someone else, and they will leave you with crumbs of recognition for work that required no business school degree to double down on hiding what you had to offer. A senior sales lead who generated boatloads in revenue before departing described her experience in meetings as being treated like, “Little girl, go sit in the corner.” That captures the dynamic precisely. I felt seen hearing that.
