That was a no-win scenario for employees and YOU, Nick. Good for you to find a different organization to work for!

Leaders at your old organization were doing exactly what THEIR leaders were asking of them. Until leaders ASK employees what it's like to work in their culture, the degree of respectful interactions, etc., leaders can assume things are fine - when they're not.

Thanks for sharing your difficult experience - and I wish you the best.

Cheers!
