Toxic Leadership

Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

Totally toxic leadership who don’t care about their people. RIFs are going on “scorched earth”. Getting rid of really great leaders and leaving the ones in place that are out of physical Philips locations who have egos the size of planets and just play continual politics. This “we are better together” stance requiring everyone to go into an office is either a way to get people to quit so they don’t have to pay severance or just a complete lack of trust in their workforce. Requiring long commutes just to report to an office is non-value add, a huge negative impact on work/life balance and required here even though it’s been proven over and over again that remote workers are more productive, work more hours and are happier.
