Lack of Focus and Direction - Anonymous employee Bravely Employee Review

I know it’s a startup and with that comes chaos and uncertainty. With that being said, within weeks of starting my job I was criticized and scolded for not knowing how a process worked that I had not received training on or had any exposure to via a long and spiteful slack from one of the more tenured employees. The person I report to will encourage you to be vulnerable and put pressure on you to share personal intimate details about your life and then bring them up and shame you for your areas of perceived weaknesses in what appears to be intentional intimidation and manipulation. I do not understand why this company who claims to want to solve diversity issues and throws cliche terms around like “psychological safety” at the drop of a hat then turns around and on what seems like a weekly basis “encourages” (read: we will notice if you don’t show up because there’s only 25 of us total) 30-60 min long internal discussions around racism and sexism by way of encouraging people to share personal and upsetting stories with each other about their personal experiences being discriminated against. By the end of a work day at this company you will feel completely emotionally drained. No matter which role you sign up for, know that your #1 job here is participating in exposing every fiber of your being through peer pressure and a culture that forcefully pushes you to feel compelled to over share before you do anything you came here and are paid to do.
