Going downhill fast - Anonymous employee RWI Logistics Employee Review

- Several employees have left in the past year without another job lined up because they would rather be unemployed in a historically bad job market than continue to endure the burnout at RWI - Nearly every Director who worked here at the beginning of 2025 has quit or been let go - Motivation consists of threats and insults rather than celebrating wins - Leadership holds employees indefinitely in "temporary" roles to fill urgent needs, and makes no effort to return them to their permanent role or adjust their pay for the additional work they are doing - Leadership is needlessly secretive in an effort to "control the narrative", which just leads to distrust and paranoia - Middle managers and tenured individual contributors have very little authority outside of the day-to-day, meaning major decisions have to go through a disproportionate amount of bureaucracy and executive approvals for a relatively smally company - Leadership fails to staff their teams adequately and is reluctant to act when middle managers want to hire more people so existing employees can take days off - Leadership pressures employees not to take leave promised in RWI's benefits package (bereavement, parental leave, etc.) - For a company that advertises itself as being "solution-oriented", leadership has demonstrated that they prioritize quick fixes over real, transformative change. When employees propose ideas, they are often met with interrogation or are outright ignored - Leadership makes grand promises to customers without consulting the people who will actually be doing the work, then punish them when it inevitably doesn't go to plan - Leadership gives employees a hard time for not being at their desks 40+ hours each week, but sneak out the back door long before 5:00 on a regular basis (if they bother coming into the office at all)
