A guide on how NOT to treat people

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nothing comes to mind, maybe PTO but nothing special.

Cons

Managers get away with treating their people horrible, especially in the NY office - not a single ounce of human in their body - doesn’t believe employees are sick, checks up on sick days or if scheduled medical procedures are real, not to mention if employees are requesting bereavement days. Horrible borderline illegal treatment of female employees. Should be studied on how NOT to manage people. The only reason people stay in Stockholm syndrome.

Pros

Global organization with opportunity to grow your skill sets. Great people (non exec management). Culturally diverse. Above avg pay and benefits. Depending on your role, cross training among the countries. Challenging work environment.

Cons

Foreign executive management that is only focused on a 2-3 year tenure then back to Spain with a promotion...doesn’t know or understand the US culture. Micromanagement. Priorities change daily resulting in constant chaos and low productivity. Condescending management (woman berated and crying in meetings). Higher than normal executive and senior managers leaving due to “health reasons” with no job to replace.
