IS THIS WHAT “APPRECIATION” FOR PARTNERS LOOKS LIKE IN YOUR VIEW?
Dear President Gerry Hargitai
I am writing from Romania, from a subsidiary where the so-called “annual celebration” and the manager meeting have turned into a perfect exercise in corporate hypocrisy and stinginess elevated to the level of policy.
In short, the “evolution” has been as follows:
• in the past: decent events, a minimum of investment in people, some symbolic gestures, raffles, company products;
• then: an “invitation” to the company celebration, but with accommodation and meals paid out of the partners’ own pockets;
• now: you “celebrate” us online, so that there are no costs, no effort and, obviously, no real respect.
I am sure that in the nicely colored presentations it says we have an “annual celebration” and that “we value our people”. On the ground, in Romania, this translates into:
“PAY FOR YOUR OWN EVENT, AND AT THE END YOU GET A TEAMS CALL AND WE’VE CHECKED THE BOX THAT WE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE.”
My question is direct, without any wrapping:
Is this your personal vision of how partners should be treated, or have you simply allowed the Romanian management – completely disconnected from reality and lacking empathy – to do whatever it wants in your name?
Because from here, the picture is very clear:
• people who don’t think very much,
• zero empathy,
• an obsession with “ticking the box” of events so they look good in reports,
• and a level of stinginess that can no longer be justified by “cost savings”.
If this model is approved by you, then the message is crystal clear:
the message that reaches us is that we are not people, but just a cost item that has to be kept as low as possible – even when it comes to a miserable annual celebration.
And to complete the irony: the very people who work the hardest are the ones invited to the year-end manager meeting. Do you know who actually participates in this manager meeting? The people who carry the company on their backs, the ones who pull the hardest, who pour their time, nerves and health into what they do, the people who keep the company afloat. Is this the appreciation they deserve? Is this the reward for those you rely on the most?
And for these people, the ones you depend on the most, you consider it sufficient to organize a simple online meeting. You no longer even bother to congratulate them face to face, and a small, concrete gesture of appreciation – a symbolic gift, something that says “we see you” – already seems like too high a cost. What really matters is to “optimize” a bit more, even on the backs of those who have kept the company alive all year.
If this is not your vision, then perhaps it is time to take a very close look at what is happening in Romania, because in your name nice words are being sold about “values” and “belonging”, while the reality is:
• no minimal gesture of appreciation,
• no symbolic gift,
• no real effort to show that people matter.
Let me ask you plainly:
are you just as stingy and out of touch with the people in this company as the local management in Romania, or have they simply convinced you that “this is good enough” as long as the numbers look fine?
This is our experience of “belonging”. Does it belong to you as well, or only to those who run things here locally?
With the “respect” that this kind of treatment deserves,
