Burnout Central - Anonymous employee Char-Broil Employee Review

- workload. something like 50% of the workforce has voluntarily resigned in the last 10 months and somehow we seem to have more things going on now than before. you do the math what that means for those of us still here. - As people jump off the train, those left behind pick up the extra jobs. Not tasks, but actual, full jobs. The best performers are rewarded with more work, and it's a cycle that never ends until people hit the breaking point. Prepare to do 2-3 jobs, for no additional pay or promotion, and prepare to be chastised when one of your additional functions inevitably encounters problems. - Career discussions are a façade. You'll fill out talent profiles and other things so that you feel like they're thinking about your career, but when it comes time to ask about actually making it happen, nobody can tell you anything. -micro-management. As bad as any place I've ever seen. There is just so much time wasted on internal-facing junk that has no impact on the business whatsoever. The CEO comments on a chart and 3 people gain 4 hours of work when they already had 50 hrs of backlog for the week. In any given week, internal decks and discussions that don't move anything forward probably take up more than 50% of your time. - HR seems to have no idea what people do in their day to day job, and even with hundreds of "anonymous surveys" they seem to not understand the vibes of what's going on. They either don't know, which is concerning and feels almost impossible, or they DO know and haven't done anything which is even more concerning. - You’ll be expected to go way above and beyond, meaning hours, availability, etc. and yet when review time comes you’ll struggle to get “meets expectations”
