Pros
The only silver lining? Some of those who went through tough times we bonded over the chaos—there’s a certain solidarity in shared disappointment.
Cons
When I joined the HR department, I was aware of ongoing changes and assumed they were a normal part of the process—clearly, I was mistaken. The interview process itself was chaotic, with lengthy discussions involving people who didn’t even know why they were meeting me. Once I started, things escalated quickly. A colleague in HR was fired, and the work environment became increasingly tense. My role turned out to be very different from what I was hired for, and I was mostly handling administrative tasks—something I hadn’t done in years and wasn’t willing to do full-time. But the bigger issue is the pattern. In just a few months, multiple women were let go, including those in leadership and even two returning from maternity leave. The instability within HR—the very department meant to support employees—speaks for itself.
