Mostly big giant run on sentences. Currently, a polarizing battle of opinions on DEI.
As sad as this is, it’s also reassuring!! Our stream is non stop moaning about pay, too much work, D&I and so on.
So I guess we’re all in the same boat as far as FB goes, although I gotta say I do enjoy speaking frankly to the moaners sometimes….
People need a place to complain and this app provides that space. People who are happy don’t need a place to tell strangers that they are happy. They have happy lives.
I consider this app an Alcoholic Anonymous, everyone will be alcoholic and they bring their demons here because it is anonymous.
Of course there are exceptions just like anything else in life.
Complaints for the most part. But if you’ve been around social media platforms and part of any type of group that’s what you’ll see. 90% complaints. No one stops to post praises.
RN it’s 90% keyboard warriors talking tough about DEI
Counseling out the bottom 5% really helped with the fish bowl complaining 😂. Much better now, but many of the same themes, just more constructive.
No one ever posts “just wanted to say I love the firm.” Frankly, we don’t have much activity. At this time of the year, it is mostly speculation about comp, which comes out within a month. Mostly people trying to get info and people who are in different parts of the firm or don’t know answering. Occasional complaints. Prob will see Q’s about comp rotate to complaints about comp over the next month.
Same on ours
Some complaints about being underpaid or the work not being satisfying. Also a lot of HR questions, like how do I request a transfer (office or practice), is Monday a holiday, etc. However there’s a good mix of posts and responses that are positive about WLB and culture too.
Comp for the most part; am I making enough? Most of the RTO complaints have stopped.
Dumpster fire. 🔥
DEI, Trump (it’s like a haven for the few Trump lovers amongst a mostly socially progressive firm), raises, promotions (lack there of), eroded culture and core values, pumping the stock, calling for the resignation of our CEO, job search, and general complaints that don’t fall into one of the above categories. Rough!
People are generally happy because we are growing. But they want more perks. Nothing new there. More travel perks, more free food, more allowance…
Highly negative in my geography about our culture decline, too much offshore, favoratism (it's true, but it's really because we've managed to retain our mediocre and lose our top talent so we're overly reliant on a few top performers).
Extra toxic in my team (S&), but I think it's 1 or 2 really loud and upset staff. I feel for them and the broader firm because this is a really tough business when the market is down.
And nice to know it's not just my area of the world...it had begun to make me question if it was just us.
