Newbie to investing and never invested in a company that went through a reverse stock split.
In theory, I understand the market value should increase but I’m not seeing this reflected in the price and naturally my book value/ share is very disappointing.
A) When should I anticipate the stock appreciation to occur?
B) What’s the next move for companies that do this? Issue more shares?
TIA!

In my humble opinion, say if you did galvanise folks.... existing leadership (greed), Legal, HR and huge lack of funds... those are your battles.
You want to start a revolution internally... Good on you, I'm with you in spirit. Easier to start your own business.
A word of warning HR is there for the company not the employee... from personal experience, they are the biggest battle....

Thanks D1... yep you are correct... a bad experience hence I cavaeted it all with 'my personal experience'. Going up against the machine is not for the faint hearted especially when your own neck is on the line.
And yes I agree with you, small change team by team is also very effective - proving out the use case / business case... making it an easier sell later for wider change. That's smart.
My frustration came from the 'Blue Sky Thinker' who in my humble opinion has watched far too many YouTube/ Social media influencers and has not ever executed yet thought their post was inspiring by attacking my advice to OP.
All I was doing was pre-warning OP ahead of any action on their part. It's so easy to come up with an idea but to get the buy in and influence that change takes significant amounts of hardwork and resiliency... and even if you are trying to do everything with best intentions, there are significant amounts of impact if the change is implemented... often requiring legal / policy etc change.

We is not everyone.
I literally do not care about any of this except money, impact, and trajectory. I am there to grind, learn, and help others who are also willing to do great work.
I abhore anything at work that isn't work (or learning things that will make my team and I more efficient/effective or grow professionally). Some of us are basically robots. Please don't make us do office fun day then get judged for not doing firm give-back.

Honest I like it! Thanks for the share. I'm here for these comments as people are so different.
I spoke up about mental health and gave feedback to managers who were creating hostile environment. I even reported racial harassment to HR. Nothing happened. So, I left. It was an old company with some have been with the company for 30, 40 years.

Thoughtworks - thanks for sharing and sorry this happened. Same experience, HR in established firms the minute you raise a concern (esp inequality / racism) all eyes are on you and are looking for you to slip up.
In my personal experience, often noticed the HR professionals who go into the profession for real change end up gaining experience and then pivot to create their own businesses and have more impact. This leaves a bunch of folks in HR who really are simply aligned to management goals... not employee goals.
And yes, before anyone comes back, that's HR's job... I know I understand that, explaining to folks who think HR is there for them when that's not the case.
Also caveat, I work in finance and corporates...
I just want a BJ and steak
Be the change you want to see. Speak up about programming you'd like to change. If it doesn't change, do something yourself. Spread kindness where you can. Stick within your legal and HR regulations of course. You might be surprised by how many other people you galvanize to your social cause by leading the way.
Changing a company's culture is definitely harder when it's a large organization though.

The first item is your problem - money. One just need to say there’s a pool of money and you need to fight for it among your peers. All others like culture, flex, respect are gone - with your peers backstabbing your to get a bigger pool.
