Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
We’re pleased our hybrid setup works well for you and have had positive experiences with some of your colleagues - that part is pleasing to hear!
That said, we’re concerned by the issues you’ve raised. While some flexibility in a start-up environment/small company in an emergent industry comes with the territory, taking on responsibilities materially outside your job scope without your buy-in is far from what we seek to do.
As to filling resource gaps, it’s important to clarify that is a collaborative responsibility driven by company leadership and business priorities - not a decision made unilaterally by "HR" (also noting that's not a term we use internally).
People & Culture will of course support these conversations, but it does not independently determine headcount or role assignments. People & Culture also facilitate bi-annual compensation reviews, benchmarked using Mercer data, to ensure our staff are appropriately rewarded for the responsibilities they hold, but again your line manager will be the first port of call for making recommendations in this space, rather than it being a unilateral P&C decision.
Most importantly, as the post states you're a current employee, we strongly encourage you to raise any concerns you have internally via the many different options at your disposal (your manager, anonymous Q&A, People & Culture or a conversation with any SLT member). Anonymous posts on a forum like this do very little for us to properly understand your perspective or take meaningful action. These forums also very rarely tend to capture the view of the bulk of employees who are happy, so lose a bit of their credibility as a medium to enact change.
We're always open to constructive, respectful feedback - especially when it’s shared with the intent to help improve things for everyone. We’d genuinely welcome a conversation.
