Toxic and Unprofessional HR Leadership: The HR department is headed by a family member of the founder who lacks professional boundaries and severely micromanages the staff. She frequently exhibits unprofessional behavior, including shouting at employees over minor things (like office snacks) and badmouthing staff behind their backs to create division.
Lack of Respect for Company Leadership: This individual openly disparages top management in front of subordinate staff—using highly inappropriate language to describe the Managing Director and dismissing the Board's authority—while acting completely differently to their faces.
Questionable Operational Practices: HR operational boundaries are frequently crossed. There have been instances of staff salaries being purposely delayed or held back. Additionally, upper management time is wasted on micromanagement tactics, such as standing at the lobby acting like a traffic cop to monitor physical attendance.
Cliquish and Fear-Driven Culture: The workplace is heavily divided into "favored circles." If you do not belong to the inner circle or happen to disagree with the HR leadership, you are actively isolated and targeted. Employees who see this happening are too terrified to speak up or step out of line, fearing they will be the next target.
