TerraCycle was a dream company for me to work for as I had been a long time admirer. Unfortunately the workplace culture has taken a steady downfall the last year or so. The recent crackdown in in-office attendance is unnecessary and infuriating- it is leading to employees policing each other and is frankly creating a hostile work environment. Most of our jobs can be done at equal, if not increased, efficiency from home. Despite it being well-known for years now post COVID, employees with increased work from home flexibility are happier (in both their personal and professional lives). We are a "green" company founded on environmental friendliness and waste reduction and we boast about it at every opportunity both internally and externally. We have a team of scientists that produces an annual carbon emissions report that includes employee commutes- ironic how this number could be significantly reduced by allowing employees who CAN work from home, to do so (acknowledging that this is not possible for all positions & departments). It was especially difficult to watch the CEO acquire a fourth (?) Air BnB property (specifically intended to house his art collection) last year, following a round of layoffs. This, while the majority of employees are compensated well below the market average, is particularly disheartening. Doing everything in my power to leave this company as soon as possible.
