How much is too much? The saga of my first year at my company.

Picture this: small company (1-200 employees), where ping pong tables and free massages are the norm. In the last six months, you have experienced: 1) HR firing and then rehiring someone after they came to work drunk. 2) Your CEO going MIA for 6 weeks, unable to be contacted. 3) Finding out you will not get any raise unless you write a proposal and present it to said CEO, HR, and Finance. 4) Having unlimited PTO, but being told 3 weeks is the maximum.

Picture this: small company (1-200 employees), where ping pong tables and free massages are the norm.

In the last six months, you have experienced:

1) HR firing and then rehiring someone after they came to work drunk.
2) Your CEO going MIA for 6 weeks, unable to be contacted.
3) Finding out you will not get any raise unless you write a proposal and present it to said CEO, HR, and Finance.
4) Having unlimited PTO, but being told 3 weeks is the maximum. The name being changed to “non accrued time off”.
5) Employees given 1 month to prepare to return to office after being wfh for over a year.
6) Execs admitting that return to office was to justify paying for the building’s lease.
7) HR firing a newer employee and keeping a more tenured one after the tenured employee started screaming at the newer one.
8) HR member quitting on the spot with no notice.
9) All suggestions for problem solving and employee support being met with “they’re just lazy they don’t need more support”.

Someone tell me how work is not a joke. I can’t take my company or job seriously after this.

TLDR my company is messy and has no consideration for employees.
