Unfortunately, certain areas of the company have developed deeply unhealthy dynamics. Micro-management, politics, and a lack of trust have become the norm, making it difficult for people to do their best work. Favoritism and personal bias often carry more weight in decisions than performance, merit, or expertise, which creates an uneven and demotivating environment.
Constructive feedback is frequently dismissed, and anyone who raises legitimate concerns risks being slowly sidelined or excluded from key discussions and decision-making processes. This discourages transparency and prevents issues from being resolved effectively.
There is also a growing gap between words and actions where ambitious presentations, rarely translate into meaningful outcomes. Instead of providing clarity, this disconnect often leads to confusion and misaligned expectations.
Incompetence is tolerated, and at times even rewarded, while a small group of highly capable individuals end up carrying most of the team’s responsibilities. This imbalance leads to burnout, frustration, and a culture where true talent is rarely (or never) recognized, appreciated, or supported. There are also no meaningful growth or development plans in place, leaving high performers to continue absorbing the workload without any real career progression or advancement opportunities.
There are additional areas of concern, the company overall has many strengths, but in some areas the culture has shifted noticeably. What was once a collaborative and supportive environment has become more challenging to navigate, with less transparency, alignment, and recognition.
