Alarming signs of mismanagement and disregard for workforce - Anonymous employee Inmar Employee Review

It's inevitable that as a company grows, it develops a corporate culture that can be impersonal and bloated, but Inmar really seems to suffer this more than most. It's almost as if they treat Dilbert cartoons as as a model to emulate rather than avoid, and they mold their business philosophies based inexplicably on the teachings of a former air force pilot, in an attempt to generalize non-business management techniques to the corporate world. Inmar is not the Air Force, especially as it makes more acquisitions and diversifies, so too does it retain a workforce that is enormously diversified and less likely to thrive under a rigid model that fails to acknowledge the individual and the unique approaches they may take to optimizing their work productivity. Inmar also seems to suffer from needless overhead costs, relying on bloated software or third party vendors to manage much of their infrastructure, of which Workday seems to be the biggest offender. To be fair though, in some ways they get it right, as I've seen with their process of integrating newly acquired properties, but there remains much room for improvement. Also disconcerting is Inmar's transparent and offensive pandering to women in the workforce, with a variety of women's only or empowerment programs. Where are the programs for minorities or the the disabled though? We're not even given Martin Luther King Day off. So much for diversity. Of greatest concern is what seems to be a subtle disdain (and sometimes blatant disregard) for the workforce by the leadership. It's telling despite being part of a small startup, my health insurance was once 100% covered in-network, but moving to Inmar, not only do you pay a broad range of additional healthcare costs, but they penalize you with higher premiums unless you subject yourself to biometric screening once a year, and if your BMI (already a highly controversial measurement) or waist size isn't within a required criterion, you can expect to pay significantly higher costs for your healthcare benefits. This is the first time I can remember working for a company that literally fat shames you with their healthcare package. Cigna’s healthcare for the Mid-Atlantic region here was also rated as the worst healthcare provider according to JD Powers, another red flag that Inmar is cutting costs wherever they can at the worker’s expense. It's just embarrassing that a small startup can offer me truly generous (and reputable) healthcare on a smaller revenue stream, and yet somehow Inmar, despite being a larger, established company with a larger revenue stream can't seem to match the quality of healthcare we used to enjoy. Perhaps the greatest insult was the suspension of bonuses for 2018 because we "failed" to meet financial objectives, while the CEO made a show of how he went to the board and pleaded so we could at least get a "tax cut" bonus, something we likely would have gotten anyway given the enormously popular trend of wage increases and additional bonuses initiated by many businesses after the tax cut reform was passed. There's no doubt in my mind Inmar would have suffered a significant backlash if they hadn't at least tossed their workforce a bone here. It really astonished me that they made this announcement at the annual townhall too, which can be described at best as a cultish corporate pep rally, and the level of cognitive dissonance they exhibited. How we can we be motivated to do our best when the company we work for is constantly kicking us in the face? Even worse, the excuse behind the loss of bonuses (which is calculated with an absurd degree of complexity using a system called TAD or TRIPP) rings hollow as well. Inmar has made a lot of incredibly expensive acquisitions recently that have put a significant dent in profits. I strongly suspect the bonuses of all employees had been raided to help fund these acquisitions, and then on top of that, we are further insulted for not performing up to par based on their financial objectives (which may or may not be realistic). It's remarkable to observe a company punish the entire workforce under a cloud of questionable business decisions made by leadership that most of the workforce had nothing to do with. These questionable business decisions that have adversely hurt employees, along with a constant effort to nickel and dime us in terms of poor benefits, lack of bonuses and wage freezes, all paint a picture of a business that has very little regard for company morale and taking care of their workers.
