I don't trust this company anymore
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Work-life-balance, home office
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Last September, a new office in the centre of Berlin was pompously opened. Those giving tours of the office were keen to tell how much money had gone into buying a single chair or a professional coffee machine. The executives were so proud of the office space and equipment. Meanwhile, already in February there were about 20 layoffs, the 2022 layoffs I am not mentioning because the number of people fired was not drastic. Over the following months, we were regularly updated on the state of the company, so there was nothing to predict another wave of layoffs, which occurred in August this year. 35 people were laid off. Each of the people laid off had an individual meeting with, among others, a woman working in HR. How would you have felt during that meeting, seeing the constant smile on her face? Maybe the company's management should reflect on their words that they handled the matter humanely. Humanely it certainly wasn't, but very contemptuous. Maybe instead of spending a lot of money on a modern office and such expensive equipment, in a situation where a lot of employees worked from home, it would be worthwhile to take care of your dedicated and loyal employees and, above all, learn to be human.
