The "culture" here is a facade - nothing more. Our company wants us to do more - clean, educate the other work groups on SOP changes, bail them out of another poorly managed IROP, etc., but they don't even want to give us an average compensation package.
I could belabor the point but I'm just going to say one thing: NOBODY is leaving a legacy carrier to come to jetblue. Why do you think that is?
What gets me even more is how obviously offensive it is that someone would use this facade of values to take advantage of honest, good people who want them to be real, and who do mean well. This hurts me to the core. I find it highly condescending because I basically live according to these values anyway without someone leading me by the hand, or droning on about mission statements. It's who I am. But, to use this approach, and then fail to follow the same values as a company, is going to have a bad ending. Not all people are stupid, and they can see this for what it is. I'm hoping that things will change for the better, or that a legacy buys us.
