My work week will be pumped from 38 hours to 40 hours per week but the pay remains the same...

And holidays are adjusted from unlimited PTO to 32 days

Also, we are now officialy one month later since I requested time off for end of December.

It still has to be approved or rejected.

@retoor my work is already being a PITA for the remaining of my annual leave (20 days) and that is not yet being approved.

But it is not the only thing they are taking away in 3 years... Let's see...

Before i started, they worked at a coworking space including free lunches for the colleagues

The company grew & they moved out. I then joined them (3y+ ago). Since then:

- removed free beer & free soda at workplace

- company-wide meetings used to include free lunch

- company-wide meetings now is the afternoon & usually runs longer than our workign hours. They however fix dinner (usually sandwiches) but that is optional

- company events is now in the evening instead during office time

@wojtek322

- Our office policy was "i dont care", now 2 days mandatory work in the office

- 38 work week, now 40

- removed unlimited PTO

- removed the perk that you could get a part of your sport costs paid back (gym membership, sport clothing, ...)

- monthly fuel cap for company car

- not allowing car to be driven outside of my country

- removal of alcohol on work events- monthly

-lunchmeetings with the devops teams was removed*

- ...

\* friday was often just working in the morning. Lunch for 2 hours (or 3). Then sprint review/meeting (aka, drinking beer/soda with remote team). Then people stayed in the office till 19:00 and have multiple drinks and then drive home drunk (very very safe)

It's just an other perk that is being taken away... While it is not that big of a deal, it adds up quickly.

@retoor Enjoy!

My company sadly didn't grow too much. We went from 25 people to 35 then back to 30 and we stabilized around here...

Depending on the month because we have a high turnover

@retoor For sure. But it feels I did not a lot in my time at the job. I've written a lot of code, threw away a lot code

I'm soon starting my fourth year at this company and i've already had:

4 different COO

6 different project managers

6 different redesigns

24 ex-colleagues in the dev team alone. (team size now is 9)

etc

Still no idea how this company stays afloat.

@retoor

financial reasons: 1

Left on his own accord: 5

bullied: 3

Left because else left: 4

Left because the CEO: 3

fired for incompetence: 7

Too junior / financial reasons: 2

Stopped showing up: 2

I forgot about 3 ex-colleagues hahaha

@wojtek322

One coworker was extremely competent but he acted careless (which his work was not) and was very extroverted. The COO disliked him & fired him when he was on holiday (and called him during his holiday & ruining his holiday)

Other colleague was fired by the same COO because she was disliked because she did not meet the deadline. The deadline was not her issue but very unrealistic. it was a major rewrite of our apps logic, not something you can do in a month but 4 months at least. She went on holiday and was fired after she came back.

The other colleague was this one: https://devrant.com/rants/6445422/...

@retoor There are enough red flags but my position as a front-end developer was never really affected that much. Hence why i sticked around and this is my first job so I thought it might look better to my future employees to be here for 3 or 3+ years.

Then there are so many red flags in the sales department, technicians, support, finance, ... Logistics / admin department has no drama yet.

It honestly feels more that I'm a background character for a sitcom. I have no idea how this company is making a profit each year. It baffles me.
