Promotions are often not earned by merit even in HR. Everyone is scared to lose their job which brings out bad behavior which leads to a toxic work environment. Most of my peers are demotivated and either have left for a growing company or biding time. Technology is the best in class but we keep losing deals to competitors. Good employees continue to leave the company and we can’t seem to hire fast enough. We have expanded and remodeled our SD campus but it’s starting to look empty and lack energy. Layoffs are a part of life. No trust in HR who are experts at doing layoffs and nothing else.
