Extreme micromanagement, quantity over quality
Pros
-Most colleagues are friendly and helpful -1 WFH day -there are always snacks in the office -Comfortable new office space (that’s not well-utilised) -Relatively good work-life balance
Cons
-Quantity over quality. Employees are valued only for their productivity based on word count, rather than the quality of the work itself, despite management claiming otherwise. -Management takes extreme measures to monitor employees’ behaviour. Daily word count and time spent on every single task/ meeting needs to be tracked. There is a constant pressure to hit weekly word count goals. It becomes a luxury to produce work that strives to be anything more than bare minimum output. -Inefficient and unreasonable allocation of tasks. Some people are completely overworked but teammates are reprimanded for attempting to help without going through the manager first. -Management turns a blind eye when concerns are voiced out, despite promises to address said concerns. -Employees are treated as if they are disposable, true talent is wasted. Makes the job very unfulfilling.
