BELIEVE NOTHING AND NO ONE - Manager Rivian Employee Review

As the company grows, dedicated employees who are already working around the clock are being burdened with even more workload than what is humanly possible. As their managers continue to advance, their egos and self-serving ambitions are growing even greater and faster than the company's own ambitions. Pay close attention to the responses from the company's "people" team. On many of the posts, they're repeating the same generic message. Zero tolerance for certain behaviors; contact their team to report your concerns. If employees felt comfortable doing that, they wouldn't be venting here in the first place. Why would anyone trust the same team that promised them a people-oriented culture, unlimited time off, and opportunity to advance when they hired on? They can't be believed or trusted. None of the responses address the true issues, such as INSANE overtime -- unpaid, of course, to salaried employees. Or unfair hiring practices. This is not the forum for that, of course, but there's nothing to suggest that the company is doing anything about the core issues. And this is why I left. My health was affected by the hours that I was working, and there was nothing that H.R. could do to change that unless I lodged a FORMAL complaint, that they would then investigate. Obviously, no one wants to suffer retaliation from a manager who already has way too much power to begin with. Or be labeled as the person who threw so-and-so under the bus. That stigma alone will kill your career, no matter where you work.
