Toxic culture - Anonymous employee Optus Employee Review

Toxic culture. Senior leaders lie to you about development roles, they string you along to do the work with false hopes and promises then promote the young, single and less experienced in leadership roles for less pay. They constantly lie to you about where your pay sits on the REM scale (I mean seriously staff have access to information so we can tell when you’re lying!) They deny you promotions citing no budget or the promotion cycle happens only once a year yet special pets and favourites get promotions every year (same people being advanced all the time). Feels like being in school again. Senior leaders back stabbing other senior leaders by spreading hatred and spread fear of repercussions just for speaking up or against processes. If you don’t maintain a positive vibe 100% of the time, you get branded as being negative. Can be so exhausting
