The culture has become increasingly unsustainable. Despite employee well-being being promoted as one of the company’s core values, the day-to-day reality tells a very different story.
Long working hours have become the norm rather than the exception. After-hours messages, late-night requests, and unrealistic expectations are common, making it extremely difficult to maintain any healthy work-life balance. Personal time is simply not respected.
The most concerning part is that multiple team members have experienced health issues that were directly associated with the excessive workload and prolonged working hours. Rather than treating these situations as warning signs that the organization was understaffed or that priorities needed to change, the workload continued with little visible effort to address the underlying problems. Seeing colleagues struggle physically and mentally while business continued as usual was one of the most disappointing aspects of working here.
Leadership frequently talks about caring for employees, but those messages lose credibility when people are consistently pushed beyond reasonable limits. If your culture contributes to employees becoming ill, and the response is simply to keep delivering more work, then your values exist only on paper.
