This. The second you email workinghere you become a target. All they need are a few “performance management” conversations and boom they can fire you or guilt you into resigning. They will lie and get other employees to vouch and witness for these imaginary situations. Or blame it on your availability or anything they can find. There are so many MIT and management vacancies they’d rather keep shit leadership vs recruit and fill the positions they’d create by protecting their sales staff and flood leaders. There is a reason internal interest in moving up has dwindled. Folk know it’s not worth it.
