My honest observation. First day of work: HR (quite obvious who)hands you a laptop flooded with hundreds of work emails and asks you to familiarise yourself with what’s going on (work) immediately. No company background and culture deck presented at all. red flag. They don’t care about you. Lots of attitude giving, condescending remarks, scolding occurring weekly in the office. (Even if it’s not your fault) no respect given. Everyone seems to be afraid of how they look to the clients so they’ll be impatient and anxious about work done. There’s biasness as well(stirred by HR), and she will make sure you know. Turnover rate is ridiculously high and company management is traditional. Office politics are extremely high.(SG and HK for sure)
Occasional bonding activities initiated but we all know no one wants to talk to each other they only care about themselves, including (especially) management. Management only cares about getting more clients. No monthly check in on employees on their mental health or if they are coping well. Management doesn’t encourage employees to voice out if workload is too much and doesn’t encourage you nor help you. All they can say is “don’t be stressed” or “you’ll be fine” and goes on to continue their work.
An organisation will only be able to retain talent and do well when employees are happy but I’m not sure why it’s not the case here. It’s an unhappy place with unhappy people.
