Coca Cola loves to talk about unity and diversity, but the place I worked at felt split down invisible lines that everyone pretended didn’t exist. You had departments that barely interacted, cliques forming, and people sticking only with their own groups. The company offered solid things like 401k matching, raises, even travel opportunities for some roles, which made it more frustrating because the foundation was there. What wasn’t there was real effort to bring people together. Inclusion felt more like a slogan than a daily practice. When people feel separated instead of connected, no amount of benefits really fixes that vibe.
