The CEO “can not (sic) think of any obvious cons” when he anonymously wrote a Glassdoor review about his own business. Fortunately, I spent a bit more time in the office than he did, so there were a few things I picked up on which he might not have seen.
Management generally doesn’t like to hear what’s going wrong and will try to ignore or cover up the things that don’t look good. What can be swept under the rug, is. And it’s a big rug.
Burnout’s completely endemic at TH, and management does absolutely nothing about it. I was told that everyone’s suffering and that there were other people (whose names I was given) that were suffering much worse than I was. Despite flagging it to management multiple times, no changes to my workload were made. No surprises that I had my first ever anxiety attack while working at TH.
Contributing to the burnout is the fact that holidays feel like they’re only grudgingly tolerated. I once took two days off for a long weekend and was encouraged to attend a meeting in the office on the first day, and told to dial-in to another meeting the second.
