Although Willowtree has allowed remote work to be "apart of its culture" it is constantly looked upon as less than those who work in the office. As a remote worker it always felt as if your work was not only valued less but you were excluded from other company perks such as happy hours, holiday parties, wellness stipends etc.. Not only did management horribly manage their approach to layoffs, they continuously reassured the entire company that we were "doing great" and "rapidly growing" before letting over 100 employees go. Management preaches growth but most managers don't even have the time or desire to assist the growth of their own reports. It's unfortunate how Willowtree's recent decision making has demolished any sense of culture this company used to have and I found that many were only sticking around because they are/were clinging to what the culture "used to be". Try valuing your EXISTING employees before trying to hire more.
