management is horrendous, have been yelled at, gaslit, sent condescending and scolding paragraphs over Slack, witnessed people yelling at eachother in daily meetings, harsh reprimands in emails, thrown under the bus, list goes on. One of the most toxic environments, even as a contractor….looking to leave asap but wonder if others are as miserable and mistreated?

Worked in Value Briefly. Most toxic environment ever with THE WORST manager I have ever seen, I hear that l-wlife was axed in March, so good riddance NM. It was a miserable TWTh for a bit there.

Toxic work environment seems to be company wide. Field personnel in operations face hostile work conditions also. From what I see this management behavior
is in a lot of departments. Toxic behavior must come from the top and encouraged since it is seen is many different departments.

You all should record these meetings and post them somewhere anonymously - give post-it girl a heart attack.

Do not know which experience design team … but most of them design while sleeping.. they will make customers clicks 4 times to get a simple task done.

Wow. Almost applied for an AD role over there. Thanks for the information
Experienced this in the Value org. Toxic. As fate would have, was sent out the door with a very nice package and simply moved on. Feel sorry for anyone stuck. Hope you get a way out soon.
