Great coworkers, but toxic management and favoritism hinder growth

Business outlook

Pros

Great coworkers. Decent work life balance.

Cons

Toxic management. Will not get promoted if you don't worm into the inner circle. Weird attachment to being in office and acting like working from home is a mortal sin.

We believe our hybrid model is the right blend of at-home days to support flexibility, and in-office days to support team collaboration. Regarding your other comments, we take feedback like this seriously, and I encourage you to reach out to me or another supervisor to discuss your concerns further.
