"Woke" work place filled with unconscious bias
Pros
- tech company perks ie. free food, happy hours, ect... - new laptops - remote work
Cons
- lack of transparency (never interviewed with my lead or person I reported to) - unstable leadership - hourly work with accrued PTO but unlimited sick days (majority of company salary with unlimited PTO) - I was often made to feel "othered" - overtraining to the point of micro-management (no trust in subordinates) About 2 months into training I had a hunch my work was being critiqued more harshly than my equivalent counterpart. I tested this hypothesis by directly copying my coworker's ticket response onto an equivalent ticket submitted under my name. My QA feedback was a paragraph long whereas theirs was "Excellent, great job!" It's difficult to see this issue as a non black and white or unconscious/implicit/inherent bias.
