Poor Leadership - Trusted has been acquiring many senior level management members who fail to recognize their own privileges, biases, and understanding of team operations reporting into them. Recognition is scarce for highly efficient teams but readily available for teams that stroke egos. Trusted leadership time and time fails to address employee burnout. This creates a toxic reactive cycle that has no sight in end for many long-term employees.
Diversity as a Trend - Trusted claims to be a champion of diversity in the workplace, but their actions prove exactly the opposite. Just look at senior leadership - not a single person of color in sight, and even more so as they continue to hire outside senior management roles. Another trend includes people of color/people of minority groups being blocked out of promotions or fired, while white colleagues are internally escalated in roles and recognition.
Poor Pay - Employee pay is based on location, so any talent that moves or lives outside of large metropolitan areas will not be compensated competitively. The annual performance raises are demotivating and flock mates are often low-balled at the offer stage.
Poor Headcount Management - Teams that need support only get it when their team is on fire from burnout or if half of the team leaves. Trusted’s leadership and talent management are not able to work proactively because they are only able to work in a reactive manner.
