Soda machine can't offset clueless upper management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Pros

There’s a soda machine in the office

Cons

Upper management is entirely clueless. They spew corporate slop such as “We’re better when we’re together” to excuse removing the ability to work remotely. I’m entirely convinced many of the execs are on nitrous as I would expect their decision making to be on par with someone that had holes in their brains. No job growth within the company as they will lay you off with 0 notice.
