Message: I currently work for a software startup company. The company is doing well overall in this slow economy. However, there are several practices this company has that I find unethical. 1) We are in the middle of a product release and since fall of last year we have had a complete change in upper management including a new CEO and VP of engineering. I have noticed that these new managers use acare tactics to 'motivate' employees. Both of them have mentioned that once the product is released they will lay people off. 2) They have imposed a strict wage freeze. 3) They are aggressively hiring new software engineers as well as people in all other aspects of the company. I have been there for less than six months and during this time, we have had many new people in management as well as in professional services. Everyday I give 200%. Yet, i feel that my best is not good enough. Do you think management's practices are ethical? Thanks, Under Pressure
