With Sendle, you either accept how they do things and try not to rock the boat or you tell them what you think they can do better and get sidelined, ignored, and pushed out.
BIPOC employees striving to make Sendle a better place have been treated terribly for offering their suggestions. When they make it known that they don't feel safe, they are made to feel like the problem and then become further isolated. Instead of fielding important questions about how the company is run, they take away the ability to ask those questions and assail the anonymous parties for daring to ask these hard questions at all. Always defensive, never learning.
They've built a team of super talented people who can't count on any career growth or the pay that they are worth. If they do see a career path, it quickly dies when someone is hired just above them. High performers are given meager annual raises and a big pat on the back. Meanwhile, those that perform poorly but worship the leadership are rewarded.
While they have lots of employees in the Philippines, there is no representation in leadership and company-wide diversity is scarce. Diversity is leadership is even more scarce.
Despite being a B Corp, they act in much the same way as most corporations do. They don't value their people and use environmentalism as a marketing ploy instead of a genuine desire to do better. It's all about growth by whatever means necessary. If you don't agree, they are happy to have you gone. I'm sure many people join because of the B Corp status and then become disillusioned by the reality of how things are run.
