My company is in the process of changing its mission statement – I’m curious if people actually pay attention to company missions anymore? Does that matter to you?

Not one bit. It's all fluff in my opinion. The only things that matter to me are salary and WLB.

Yes, a lot of times the mission statement ties in with the goals of the company. Which in turn helps with promotion evaluations and how to align yourself.

As program manager, vision and mission is my jam, but if the words have no action and the exe team does not champion this as the north star, then you just have an arsenal of pretty powerpoint presentations and catch phrases that are conveniently weaponized. It really sucks and is demotivating when this is just a corporate communication box to check.

Yes but it really depends. Some organizations depend on their mission statement to act as a guide for developing business goals KPI‘s and OKR’s metrics, which in returns ties to department performance evaluations also potential quarterly bonus targets.

Yet on the other hand, I’ve noticed that some organizations missions goals are not leverage or utilized in the way mentioned above and or more so just considered a talking point for a leadership and employees sometimes will feel disconnected to what their purpose is within the organization and overall business strategy and outcomes .

Mission statements are lip service for funding. That is all.

I think that is very important

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
