Kontras
There is embarrassingly incompetent senior management. The CEO change has turned a once productive work environment into a toxic environment. There were issues several years ago, but a strong work culture was established the last 2-3 years - but that has been deleted in the past year with the new senior management. The CEO takes no responsibility for bad decision that cost the company and led to multiple rounds of layoffs and a seemingly never-ending freeze on promotions, bonuses, and raises. Senior management also made poor decisions on the structure of business units, which has led to a visible drop in morale and growth opportunities. These things have made negative impacts on work/life balance and had a huge negative effect on the effectiveness, efficiency, and communication on business units. The CEO has zero self awareness, is a terrible communicator, and has continuously demonstrated that he does not have a game plan to take the company out the hole. To top it all off, the tactlessness of senior management destroys company morale - it was on full display when they told people to "focus on personal growth instead of our salaries" when telling the whole company that there will be an indefinite freeze on all promotions, bonuses, and raises.
