The culture of the company needs to be overhauled and fast as ultimately it is one of incredible pressure to meet impossible targets, no recognition or appreciation and most worryingly intimidation and bullying.
With a Jekyll and Hyde CEO promising openness and support yet behaving inappropriately behind closed doors with unprofessional and quite frankly vicious comments about members of staff and a dangerous “get it done” attitude with a blind eye turned to how that task may be completed and no questions asked in the aftermath. This attitude is promoted throughout the management team and is passed down to staff at all levels with formidable pressure.
Another key issue is micromanagement another issue I believe is passed down from the top, nobody is trusted to do their work and it’s almost a fight to do the job you’ve been hired for.
There’s a reason so many people are leaving the company and there’s a reason that there are so many vacant positions, people have to choose their sanity. From what I can see most of the Head Office teams are also haemorrhaging people even the HR team have new faces every time you walk in, that’s a statement right there.
The fear culture I’ve witnessed and the severely negative impact on my team members’ wellbeing and mental health has opened my eyes to something i didn’t know still existed in workplaces and is something I’ve never witnessed anywhere else in this industry. It is not acceptable to have staff members breaking down sobbing, not eating, not sleeping, working everyday of the week and being harassed by phone and email.
