Kontras
- Social: Lost of community during and after pandemic especially in AMER - Job safety: Multiple restructures are making it challenging to feel safe. - Unprofessional behaviour: Some leaders are too comfortable being opinionated about people and projects behind people's backs, without providing feedback for growth. Even after reports of misconduct, some higher ups are still in office. - Lack of bandwidth across company: Some leaders are spread so thin that they take decision without understanding the issue, or bring in other unrelated issues in discussions because of confusion. In the same line, developers, engineering managers, program managers, and product managers are spread thin and require too much context switching. We're given the career growth card, to take in more responsibilities, without any wins on our end - Transparency: Unclear methodology to promote employees and/or not transparent way of saying "No" - HR: Company is protected first, not employee. No report is completely anonymous. Employees know who wrote a report on them, and do reach out to them. Even if in good faith, the hope is that the reporter remains anonymous. - Collaboration: If you're in e-commerce, the tension is so high that collaboration is more challenging than anything. Employees have displayed impatience and lack of empathy, which makes it difficult to gather information - Late in the game for technology growth, specifically in AI. We're not trendsetters, but we should fast-follow. We're behind imho
