Management needs a shake up
Pros: Amazing company to work for, tech, gadgets, facilities, travel, opportunity etc.
Cons: Manager drove me out, I was a top performer until we got a new manager. From day one she had it in for me, not sure why as my previous manager was supportive, open, gave great feedback and constructive feedback. A pleasure to work for. The new one was backstabbing, sarcastic, unsupportive and a downright bully. I was singled out and no matter what I did, it was wrong. Even though I hit revenue target of 159%, had amazing customer feedback and my colleagues all got on well with me. In the end I left because of her, she made me feel ill. It got to the point where I had physiological issues with the thought of going to the office. I would feel anxiety, not be able to sleep, just wondering what she would pick on with regards to my performance on that day. I left my manager, not my company. I'd been there over 10 years, until she came along. She mentioned my salary numerous times, so I suspect that I earned more than her and she didn't like it?? But there's no excuse for bullying and ever changing goal posts. Shame on HR and Microsoft for not being supportive.
