Imagine a company strategic enough to actually understand where its talent sits and move people into positions where their skills and expertise would create the most impact. This is not that company. Instead of recognizing and elevating top talent, the company clings to rigid, arbitrary career paths that require employees to sit in the same role for years, regardless of performance or capability. Meanwhile, some move up quickly, not because of merit, but because they happen to be favored by senior leadership. What’s truly baffling is that amid constant transitions, crises, and organizational “restructuring,” no one seems willing to ask the obvious question: what if the problem isn’t a lack of talent, but where this talent is allowed to exist within the organization? What if the issue isn’t top-performing people earning more money, but low-performing or outright incompetent leaders earning the most while taking credit for the work and impact of their truly capable reports? The company doesn’t need to look far for strong leaders. They already have people who deserve far more responsibility and recognition but advancement is routinely blocked, preventing them from holding the titles and influence they have clearly earned. It’s a frustrating environment if you care about impact, fairness, or actual leadership.

Everything changed after the merger. The heart went out of the company, replaced by a cold obsession with promotions, metrics, and monetization. What used to be a mission-driven, people-first culture slowly turned into a machine churning out content and products with little soul left in the process. Watching talented, loyal employees become expendable time and time again and overnight was devastating. Even more painful was seeing how some who once “championed” the old culture adapted too easily, morphing into opportunistic backstabbers trying to save their own seats. The transparency and trust we used to have dissolved into manipulation and secrecy. It feels like the surviving directors and VPs knew about the last rounds of layoffs long before they happened, quietly orchestrating “knowledge transfers” under the guise of collaboration. People were encouraged to document and share everything and unknowingly train replacements, all while being told to “stay positive.” A few well-timed promotions were handed out to keep the illusion of stability, but it was clear they were strategic placeholders, not recognition of true merit.
