* Leadership took a turn for the worse—what started as a positive environment became micromanaged and inconsistent.
* Management lacked accountability and rarely self-reflected. Instead of owning mistakes, blame was often passed onto others.
* Changes were implemented too quickly, and even though leadership struggled with them too, employees were expected to adjust immediately.
* Raising concerns about burnout or workload wasn’t met with support but was instead dismissed as resistance to "positive change."
* Mixed signals from leadership—praise in meetings didn’t align with later decisions about employee fit.
* The salary was not competitive, yet management insisted it was above market rates.
* The bonus structure kept changing——creating uncertainty and frustration among employees.
* High turnover—many employees started leaving one by one, which says a lot about the leadership.
