What don't you like about working at Sakti3?

"The CEO is more of a politician than a business leader. She claims to have created an amazing culture within the company using non-threatening tactics and has years of experience growing people. The culture is mock-worthy and the culture she has created is more of a cult-like experience where everyone, including the COO and Finance Manager, pretends to drink the Kool-aid. We all enjoy working with each other, but find her personality to be very Jekyll and Hyde. She loves to humiliate people by excoriating them in large groups and uses her weekly Sync time to put herself up on a pedestal. She inserts herself into every project that goes on in the company and obsesses over details such as font size, and text placement on Powerpoint slides. These OCD tactics tend to slow down efficiency, bring down morale and increase frustration. The CEO claims to have a photographic memory, but consistently forgets directions that she has given or emails that she has written. The COO of the company pretends to have the little guy's interest at heart, but never walks the walk. He has a tendency to micro-manage and borderline harrass his employees while they are attempting to complete projects or tasks. The Finance Manager is abrasive, rude, and condescending. She has absolutely no customer service skills and is willing to place blame on anyone but herself. She lacks a personality and should not be allowed to interact with people inside or outside of the company. The average hours worked by the technical staff are between 11-12+ hours a day. There were promises of expanding and hiring associates for other shifts, but instead the company laid off over 26% of their workforce and increased the workload for everyone left. They used the employees to prepare the company for a downsize and then gave them their pink slips when they were through with them. Management lied to the staff saying that there was plenty of work to go around when questions started to get asked. The CEO offered stock options to every associate within the company and tries to use the owner mentality to guilt us into working longer hours or take on more work. In reality, the stock options offered to employees without a management or engineering title amount to very little and are not worth the effort she is requesting from front-line staff. She preaches about being transparent, honest, and logical, but hides behind closed doors all day while advertising an open door policy. She demands appreciation, recognition, and thanks and when it is not given she will remind you to say thank you or to ask her how she is doing."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be realistic about what an individual can accomplish in a typical work day. An 11-12+ hour shift a few times a week is acceptable, but asking people to sacrifice time with their families, friends and or give up a social life is ridiculous. Don't obssess over the details. You have hired intelligent people who know how to do their jobs, so let them! Don't use fear tactics and humiliation to get what you want. You only turn the culture you've created into something to mock, the most mock-worthy thing being yourself. Don't demand or request respect. It comes to those who are worthy of receiving it. Don't lecture. If you want to continue being a professor, then you should never have started a business. Employees want the facts, not your opinion. Don't pretend to be something that you're not. Photographic memory is something that can be learned and if you cannot remember an email that you wrote, a task that you've given, or the name of one of your employee's children, then you probably don't have a eidetic memory."
