Pros

Friday Early Finish WFH Options

Cons

Good employees leave because they feel unheard, undervalued, or exhausted by leadership that refuses to self-reflect. Bad managers allowed to stay because systems often reward positions more than behaviours.

Pros

Friday`s Early Finish and 2 days WFH.

Cons

Quite Toxic Environment Very Political Very Low Morale & Negative Energy. Useless Management at best some managers are no more than managers in training they should not be in managerial roles. You don't want to be in a position where you suffer from someone`s incompetence and you constantly have to clean up the mess time after time knowing what the root-cause is.
