Being a Corporate Employee is Isolating & Lonely - Corporate Manager Life Time Employee Review

LT is the most isolating job I've ever had. Everyone keeps to themselves, expect for the constant meetings that are scheduled. It is also the most passive/aggressive professional workplace, and definitely not collaborative. You want to talk to your manager? They'll tell you to book time on their calendar. Good luck finding time with all the meetings that will work out before the end of the week. Then all of a sudden a meeting will pop up on your calendar-- with little context that you should be prepared for. They'll call you out in a meeting in front of executives to make themselves look better and you look like the idiot. If you need to get something done, you need to block your own calendar or you'll never get anything done. No one actually talks, they just schedule meetings in big conference rooms. No one eats lunch together, no one goes to the cafe, no one has coffee in the breakroom. They stay at their desks. All day, unless they need more water or to go to the bathroom, or another meeting. Everyone eats at their desks, with their ear pods in, wearing their LT branded workout gear and tennis shoes. It it very lonely, and not the vibrant, innovative work environment I envisioned in beginning my career.
