Your setup appears to be an hour focused culture, not a goal focused culture.
They may be a bit schizophrenic about this, and promise nice leave based on hours put in and when an often non-expressed goal in not met (indeed, not formalised internally) is not met get very managerial, imagining management, especially hours focused culture, is leadership.
If they're not letting you take leave on your birthday, hell I give that day off for anyone if they ask for it or not, then they're an hours focused culture faking a goal focused one.
You're right to get out.
- somenomadicguy 10y agoIt's funny you should mention this. We just started tracking the time to completion of all zendesk tickets (everything we do is ticket-based) to deliver weekly reports to $uppermgmt. Sigh, yeah, it's a sinking ship. Sadly. My team is the best team I've ever worked with, and my boss is the only boss I was ever excited to work for. I Don't blame him, though, his hands are just tied now that the penny pinchers run the show.

If your time is the product and you are the biggest source of overhead (see every agency of every industry out there),then getting more hours out of you for the same or lesser pay is the primary lever for management to pull to grow revenue and margins.
