Kontras
Gartner doesn’t care about people — period. They move employees into new roles without so much as a conversation, then immediately set them up to fail with impossible performance expectations after just 90 days. I watched myself and colleagues get blindsided, humiliated, and dragged through sham “performance plans” that were never about improvement. Even after doing everything asked of me and hitting the metrics, they fired me anyway. This company hides its financial problems by pretending these are performance issues. Instead of being honest and doing real layoffs, they manipulate numbers, gaslight employees into thinking they’re not good enough, and destroy people’s confidence. It’s cruel. It’s calculated. And it’s disgusting. Working here was one of the most dehumanizing experiences of my career. The constant fear, the manufactured failure, the dishonesty from leadership — it’s a machine designed to use you up and spit you out. They don’t value your work, your mental health, or even your dignity. If you want to feel belittled, disposable, and lied to, Gartner is the place. If you want honesty, respect, or a chance to succeed, don’t go to Gartner.
