Despite the company's public emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and internal promotion from within, it appears that my manager may not have received the memo. Favoritism and nepotism seem prevalent, with contractors receiving preferential treatment over full-time employees. They are hired and promoted ahead of long-standing Vertex employees, even having the privilege of choosing their work shifts before more experienced full-time employees. Despite management offering apologies and assurances of improvement, promises often go unfulfilled.
It's extremely important to exercise caution when providing feedback through company surveys, as there may be potential for retaliation from managers when expressing concerns about direct report managers, supervisors or even directors. There seems to be an armchair manager advancing in the Vertex corporate hierarchy at the expense of colleagues, subordinates, and the overall team, displaying typical corporate power-trip behavior while moving up the ranks faster then usual at this company. This does make you wonder how is this possible? hummm?
