Tons of leadership turnover = unclear purpose and focus, no stability, constantly have to prove your value when new people join, very reactive environment. Take it as a warning sign that the good leaders are leaving…there’s a reason.
Awful technology = too many systems that do 1-2 tasks vs many tasks, leaders choose things that make day to day harder for those who do the work, even the “new” systems don’t function well.
Diversity is sold as important but their actions don’t line up. When a new leader joins, they bring their people from their former (often failing) company, leaving current employees to pick up the slack.
C level thinks employee affinity groups are awful so there’s no way to openly connect with other people who may have similar experiences and interests.
Does a yearly employee survey, and each year the same topics come up as problems. Year after year feedback is ignored and things carry on as they always have.
Compensation is middle ground/ average rather than competitive. Raises will not be big, but they’ll hire a new person for more money than what current employees are making.
C level calls themselves progressive but there’s nothing modern or thoughtful about their decisions. If anything, it’s the opposite and they get more antiquated in how they run things each year.
