There used to be a real sense of looking out for each other — that’s what made this place different. Lately, it feels like that’s been replaced with back-channel conversations, politics, and a constant need to watch your back( since the near shore, off shore concept started) They have more holidays, vacations that us folks .they are cost effective for l10 and below but most of them are banded and they definitely are not mature for it. No back ground check just got hired . i have few in my workspace.
It’s getting harder to trust intentions. Decisions don’t always feel transparent, and visibility doesn’t always align with contribution. That creates an environment where people are focused more on positioning than actually delivering.
Also hearing increasing concerns from the I&O space — behavior that comes across as bullies, b***, aggressive or dismissive, which isn’t what we should be normalizing as ‘leadership’ or ‘accountability.’
This isn’t about one team or one geography — it’s about the culture we’re building. If we don’t address it, we risk losing what made this place strong in the first place.”**
