- Leadership is siloed, disorganized, and uninterested in growth or feedback.
- Attempts to modernize internal processes or improve structure are shut down without discussion.
- Titles and egos matter more than collaboration or results.
- Gossip is rampant—even among executives—which creates a toxic undercurrent throughout the company.
- Raises are low, praise is hollow, and layoffs happen without transparency.
- Those doing the least often get the most recognition, while hard-working employees go unnoticed.
- There’s little to no performance feedback, even when you ask for it.
