Lack of psychological safety: I have never experienced this level of open disrespect in a workplace. There are patterns of behavior that leave employees feeling dismissed or invalidated, and at times interactions feel gaslighting in nature.
Ineffective response to concerns: Reporting issues through formal channels does not consistently lead to meaningful action, which erodes trust in leadership and HR processes.
Gender-related concerns: There are ongoing challenges with how women are treated and supported. Disrespectful behavior is at times tolerated, particularly when there are disagreements, and accountability is inconsistent.
Dismissive leadership dynamics: Communication from leadership can come across as condescending, discouraging open dialogue and limiting innovation.
Inequitable team dynamics: Certain individuals or groups are given more influence, while others are blocked from contributing meaningfully.
Over-reliance on external voices: Contractors and external partners are often given disproportionate influence over decisions, sometimes at the expense of internal teams.
Lack of recognition and inclusion: Many teams are not consistently included in key conversations or leadership forums, reinforcing a sense of being undervalued.
