Minpunten
This company, formerly Coursello, had a great vision at the beginning. The CEO of Coursello hired an incredible team of intelligent creative individuals who were brought together to provide a quality product that was new, fresh, and exciting for the future of education. The CEO was friendly and warm and had a passion for his idea. At some point, an outside company changed the vision of the former Coursello and led them astray. This led to a merger with that company, which led to the new Co-CEO singlehandedly dismantling the vision and the people within Coursello. In January, a group of people were laid off unexpectedly after being promised that nothing would change after the merger. This left the company culture feeling afraid that they may lose their jobs unexpectedly. The company then changed all the benefits, which led to many of us struggling with our medical benefits and a huge pay cut due to the increase in medical insurance. Then in May, a second round of layoffs happened. Over the course of time, the company has let go of approximately 50% of their original employees. The leadership lacks organization, direction, leadership skills, and product. There are too many chefs in the kitchen who want to be in charge and ultimately no one knows what the actual product is of the company. The culture of the company was chaotic, stressful, and unstable.
