ChatGPT knows if you have a shitty culture

As an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to give me examples of ten associations and ten nonprofits who have bad workplace cultures, with data to back it up. Here’s what it gave me:

Here is a list of ten large associations (membership organizations) known for having had issues with their workplace cultures, along with the data used to make these assessments:

1. American Bar Association (ABA)
   – Data:Internal surveys and anonymous employee reviews on sites like Glassdoor have indicated issues with management, work-life balance, and internal communication.
2. National Rifle Association (NRA)
   – Data: Reports from former employees and media investigations have highlighted problems related to internal politics, leadership issues, and a lack of transparency.
3. American Medical Association (AMA)
   – Data: Employee reviews and surveys have pointed out issues with bureaucracy, slow decision-making processes, and a hierarchical culture that can stifle innovation.
4. AARP
   – Data: Feedback from employees on platforms like Indeed and Glassdoor has mentioned challenges with management, organizational change, and internal communication.
5. National Education Association (NEA)
   – Data: Employee reviews and external audits have revealed issues with leadership, workplace morale, and the effectiveness of internal processes.

Do you work for one of these organizations?  How true is this? 

If it’s true, you (yes you) can move the needle on culture – our new book Culture Change Made Easy tells you how, no matter where you sit in the organization.

Do you want to work for one of these organizations?  Ask ChatGPT for some intel before you apply – might save you hours of scouring Glassdoor and Indeed – but then validate by talking to some actual employees (or former employees).

Do you work somewhere else, but want to know what ChatGPT knows about your org? Perhaps it’s time to ask… then do something about any negative stuff. (We can help.)
