When I started at my company it was a warehouse of under 200 people. As the years went by, and we added more and more staff, things seemed more chaotic. The common consensus amongst the people who worked there for many years (before my time) was that the boss was more personal and warm. Now she sits in a closed office in such a way that discourages anyone from approaching her. The organization seemed to get more chaotic and unwieldy. Because we didn’t really organize in teams it was kind of a free for all.
- psyc 9y agoI started at a company just before the dot com boom. 50 people. It was like a family. Everyone was friendly and happy, everyone knew who was responsible for what, and what they were like. At the height of the boom it grew to 700, and I can only describe the psychological environment as insanity. I bumped into new strangers in the halls every day. Nobody knew what the company's mission was anymore. Everything was failing, and blame was rampant. The managers hid. Training became next to impossible and most people didn't really understand how to do their job. It was nightmarish.
