A really weird culture of hypocrisy and entitlement is starting. It is very important to the C-Suites to think of themselves as good people, but the elephant in the office is that this is shaping up to become another toxic startup where random people consolidate power and anyone can get disappeared.
Plenty of people who are incompetent or mismatched for the skillset required for their position are allowed to keep their job while there have been arbitrary firings during the pandemic. Because there are gaps in skill in management and leadership, often we head in the complete wrong direction. Anyone who questions leadership or voices other ideas is let go.
Another example is the extremely low pay and lack of benefits. We are nearly three years old. After over a year, we only got health insurance and only now, is a 401k on the roadmap.
