Knowing the CEO just got $80k for a partial bonus, has thousands of stock options when the company goes public, and my supervisor just hired a white woman he worked with in the past for $150k without even interviewing her, and she is making twice the amount my black female coworker, who has the same (and more) responsibilities and significantly more experience.
All to please and make a bunch of rich white investors in Utah even more rich.
I've been looking for a new position and was hoping to leave first as I had to take this job due to my first lay off and immediately realized the company was toxic: expecting employees to forgo their personal time, emotional abuse, unprofessionalism, homogenous echo chamber, inequity in pay and favoritism of who could be remote vs in-office, and incompetent “leadership.” And they wonder why there's a high attrition rate and think an employee engagement program will fix their shitty culture.
It doesn't matter how much relevant experience of transferrable skills you have or how much a company spouts about equity and meritocracy: many companies function on nepotism.
It doesn't matter how hard or long you work for a company or how much you believe in them: you are dispensable.
I'm preaching to the choir but wanted to vent. I'm just miffed they pulled the trigger before I could.
