Constant change - Anonymous employee hackajob Employee Review

Hi there Your review is appreciated, thank you. It’s great to understand that you experienced a variety of pros while working here. To read that you never felt alone is particularly positive and suggests that you had good support as an employee. Your cons are really constructive and there’s a lot we can learn as a business here. A redundancy process is inevitably tough on everyone in a business and every effort was made to manage the recent round at hackajob with as much empathy, compassion and care as possible. Getting the communication balance right in the lead up to a redundancy round is often the trickiest part. The aim is to be transparent enough to be clear on what the risks are, while avoiding a working environment that is constantly overshadowed by anxiety and uncertainty. Sometimes striking that balance well is missed, which it seems it was for you. Your views around the frequency of changes and the sense that decisions are rushed is something we’re listening to a lot of feedback around. As a result, we have recently started working on how to better explain our decision making process and rationale, so that employees feel more confident of the “why” behind what we do or don’t do. While I can see from your review that you are described as a former employee, I would welcome the chance to talk with you further and understand more of your point of view. If you would be prepared to do this, please reach out to me on amy@hackajob.co Thanks, Amy Gilman, Director of People.
