Pros

If you've been navigating the Frontiers landscape for a while, like I have, you'll know the real gems of this place were the people – a bunch of talented, intelligent, and warm individuals passionate about science.

Cons

Notice that I mentioned were. Well, they're either gone or eyeing the exit before the looming redundancies catches up with them. So, why the redundancy drama? Upper management will tell you that rejection rates soared, revenues tanked, and voilà – we're trimming the fat to become a 'leaner and more agile organization.' Their blog post, which dropped the bomb on employees facing job cuts, was not only insulting but also far from the truth. It's like a cringe worthy attempt to save face in the publishing world. So what really happened you ask? Well up in some ivory tower, upper management decided our five-year strategy should ride on the wave of pandemic success. Doubling the workforce? That was their golden ticket to doubling revenues. Surprise, surprise – didn't quite work out, but hey, we didn't need an MBA to see that coming. Fast forward to today – hundreds are at risk of redundancy, but let's tell the public we're just streamlining and tossing in some AI magic. Upper management, you had one job – to handle the redundancy process with dignity, grace, and just a shred of empathy. And guess what? You failed at that too. Apart from the sinking ship scenario, Frontiers has become a breeding ground for nepotism. If you're in the good books of senior management, you'll get promoted. If you're the 'yes man' for senior management, congrats, you're on the promotion express. If you have a complaint about senior management? Hope you've considered your exit strategy. These individuals are cemented in influential roles, complaints be damned. So, here's a little question for upper management – was it all worth it? Because you've not only damaged your beloved Frontiers brand, but you've obliterated the loyalty and trust of your once-devoted employees. What a not-so-glorious way to exit the stage.

As a Professional Chaos Navigator at Frontiers, you'll be at the forefront of embracing the art of managing madness. Here's what you can look forward to: - Immerse yourself in a sea of mental health issues and breakdowns, a veritable buffet for the soul. Develop an intimate relationship with your inner turmoil, courtesy of Frontiers. - Witness the magic of upper management's erratic decision-making, a rollercoaster ride of uncertainty. - Sharpen your skills in adapting to the unpredictable, ensuring perpetual job insecurity. - Engage in a competitive environment where bullying is not just a skill; it's an art form.

Master the art of self-appreciation because, let's face it, no one else will do it for you. - Revel in a workplace where favouritism and nepotism are not just encouraged; they're celebrated. Discover innovative ways to become the chosen one or, at the very least, the tolerated one. - Immerse yourself in an ambience so toxic you'll question the meaning of a healthy workplace. - Cultivate a sense of humour as you navigate the mire of despair with a smile (forced, of course).
