Pros
Best co-workers because you're "in it together" to survive the insanity. That is until people leave because there was a better world out there and there was so much red tape we couldn't actually hire people or get them to stay.
Cons
Lack of empathy, planning, communication or foresight -Fired a division before the holidays and gave us a joke of a severance package despite YEARS of service -Then tried to rehire us because the decision was evidently not thought through and our expertise was actually valuable -THEN we got berated for not wanting to apply and interview for available open roles with the company (which would mean you lose all seniority and would likely be sacrificed for the chopping block the next time a decision like this was made again) -BTW we were fired over Zoom with the call hanging up midway through with zero attempt to give people time to jump back onto the call - they just kept talking -Insisted business could only be done in office in the middle of a province wide lockdown -But it's fine bc we're "essential" -If we're so essential why are we all looking for jobs now?
