Too many changes happening all at once - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Lightspeed

The amount of change happening at Lightspeed right now is overwhelming. Everyone is under immense pressure. After reading other recent reviews on Glassdoor, I felt compelled to share my own experience. Lightspeed is no longer the great company it once was. Corporate greed has taken over. The new CEO, Brian Provost, seems intent on squeezing every last drop out of both employees and customers. Unfortunately, by the time he moves on in a few years, he will have left many, many bodies in his wake! He often claims that the company’s strength lies in its people, but his actions tell a very different story. Last year, he accidentally sent an email intended only for company leaders to the entire organization, stating that 20% of employees should be placed on performance improvement plans. Since then, many long-term, high-performing employees have been terminated or pushed out. The culture that he and his Minnesota based leadership team have created is toxic and demoralizing. My advice is to stay away from this company until there’s a change in upper management, if the company even survives that long.
