Leadership is becoming increasingly out of touch with both their people and the work they do. A once successful and highly valued hybrid work environment was abruptly and unilaterally eliminated based on the CEO’s personal belief, which he openly communicated after stepping into the role permanently.
There has also been a push to compare work here to professional athletics. While that may reflect the CEO’s background, it highlights a clear disconnect from the realities of how the employees actually work and contribute in this environment.
Most concerning is the tone and messaging surrounding these recent decisions. There is a growing pattern of spiritually manipulative language presented as “Biblical standards and accountability.” It has created pressure to conform rather than space for honest spiritual dialogue or dialogue in general. The result is a noticeable misalignment between leadership’s personal ideology, the stated mission of the organization, and the people doing the work to carry that mission forward every day.
I pray there is meaningful course correction here over time. However, as it stands, I cannot in good conscience recommend working for or applying to this organization if you expect it to operate differently from a traditional corporate environment.
