Great coworkers, decent benefits. The company culture (before recent changes) has helped me recover from burnout. My manager is the best and single handedly revived my faith in the industry.

The new CEO immediately announced a hard RTO policy for all employees, with very little exceptions. This announcement and implementation has derailed all trust and confidence in the company. Most teams are very remote-based, with some of our best employees located in areas with no local office. Even if everyone reported to their closest hubs, we’d all be in calls with team members in other regions- now with less privacy and more security risk for our licensed IPs. Corporate language used for upcoming expectations feels like thinly veiled guarantees of forced attrition. Productivity has plummeted. Many people have to choose between losing their jobs in this current market, or risk relocating and being let go anyways. Everyone has to trust the company will somehow gather enough office space and equipment for everyone to work locally. HR is giving “key talent” more room for accommodations, creating even more fear for everyone who doesn’t fall into the “key talent” pools. It feels like the failures of executive leadership are falling onto the workers as punishment. Whatever semblance of positive company culture from executive leadership is now missing entirely. We are about to lose our best people over this horrendous decision.
