Refine Perspectives
“ The camaraderie within the support team is unmatched. I’ve learned so much here. But burnout is real – night shifts are stacking up and the rotation doesn’t feel fair. Please consider redistributing shifts more evenly or compensating accordingly.

“ I’m leaving because I no longer feel my contributions are valued. Meetings feel performative, and decisions are made behind closed doors. People don’t leave bad jobs — they leave bad leadership. I hope this gets read.

“ There's a lot of passion on this team, but we’re constantly in reactive mode. We need to stop glorifying ‘last-minute heroics’ and start valuing long-term planning. I know we can do great work when we’re not in survival mode.

“ I’ve genuinely enjoyed working here — the team spirit, openness to ideas, and the flexibility have made a real difference in my day-to-day. Management has always been supportive, and I’ve felt heard, even during busy periods. That said, clearer communication around changing priorities and timelines would help reduce last-minute pressure. A bit more transparency during planning meetings could go a long way. But overall, I’m grateful for the experience and the people I’ve worked with.

“ Opaque by Design: Every “all-hands meeting” deepened the whiplash. Decisions materialized fully formed, detached from frontline realities, while hollow mantras about “open communication” plastered company decks. We weren’t stakeholders, we were chess pieces, moved without context in someone else’s game. The glossy brochures touted diversity initiatives, yet the conference rooms told another story. Marginalized colleagues’ ideas were met with patronizing “let’s circle back” delays until repackaged by privileged peers. Our ERG became a photo-op prop while HR quietly buried discrimination complaints.

“ What looked like a meritocracy was a mirage. Despite consistently exceeding targets, advancement hinged on personal allegiances to leadership cliques rather than measurable impact. I clung to fading hope that competence might eventually outweigh cronyism, but the system wasn’t broken—it was rigged.

“ The expectations were completely unrealistic (i.e: Finish this 3-week project in 4 days; understaffed teams handling CEO pet projects or demanding Silicon Valley output at nonprofit salaries). Managers often operate on magical thinking: “If we ignore constraints, maybe they’ll disappear!”... Working late was treated like loyalty. No matter how much I worked, it never felt enough. I burned out in silence.

“ There’s a culture of fear here. Everyone’s too scared to speak up in meetings or challenge bad decisions. People pretend to be collaborative, but it’s just politics. It’s all about who you know and who you take smokes breaks with.

“ I never felt like my manager had my back. I was micromanaged constantly, and it killed my motivation. Feedback only ever came when something was wrong. Recognition was nonexistent
