Pioneer was great for some time, I met some wonderful people who hopefully I will stay friends with going forward. As I got my call yesterday, my manager started on telling me how I great I was, how knowledgeable i was. He kept on going for a little while. If I am so great then why you did not keep me? But kept people who turned the very exciting project into a toxic ego fest? I saw those same people bully and threaten other employees. Often times their solutions were outrageously expensive and not every technically sound. Any chance for a discussion of their decisions was sh– down immediately. The were constantly whispering things into manager’s ear, playing toxic mind games. So those people got to stay, when the rest of us who worked with them fell as collateral damage. So makes me wonder what kinda of company pioneer is? A company that encourages such behavior by giving such people promotions. Thinking about it, I understand why I silently hoped for a package.
Good bye pioneer. I love hate you. I wish you all the best!
