We. Communications Reviews

At times it was hard to be a creative among group brainstorms that remixed the same 10 ideas over and over. A playbook that works, to be clear, and a team who is friendly and good at their jobs.

Frequent rounds of layoffs. Separate from the layoffs, fairly regularly, individual colleagues mysteriously disappear without explanation, creating a workload imbalance and heightening anxiety among remaining team members. This leads to concerns about job stability and potential burnout. You can't help but worry, "Am I next?" Optics matter more than authenticity. This leads to superficial connections where individuals frequently promote their accomplishments, fostering favoritism, cliques, and a "mean girl" atmosphere. Some of this work seems redundant, yet suggesting process improvements often face resistance, typically justified by tradition. This lack of openness to alternative approaches may contribute to the short tenure of people of color within the organization. Some managers excel, while others require much more training or should not have managerial responsibilities at all.
