A-SAFE Reviews

The team in which I worked, and one member in particular, were extremely unfriendly and unpleasant to work with - in over a decade in the working world, I have never felt less welcome anywhere as I did there (even when I lived in the South!). It was immediately obvious from the moment I walked in that my face didn't fit, for whatever reason. The management and HR did absolutely nothing when I raised concerns that my colleague's behaviour had escalated to bullying/harassment, as defined by the terms of the company's own handbook. Rather, they decided to let me go, citing fabricated "performance issues" - when in fact, my manager had been nothing but positive about my work and progress, in spite of the atmosphere in my office. Absolutely appalling and disgraceful conduct.

I first think of the age-old saying of "you can't polish a ...." but I have to say you have done an excellent job of proving this saying wrong. Lovely looking building, very professional feel and great benefits are what you are shown at the very beginning. Then you are sat at a desk in an open office, and away you go! That is onboarding in a nutshell then you realise the office is lifeless, the people that do want to talk to you are afraid of being seen to be talking. You get warned a couple of times about the manager, but you know what that's normal there are going to be unhappy staff in most places. Then you realise why you have been employed because the manager that employed not only has no idea what it is you do but also they have let it get so bad that the only advice you should give them is "We need to start again!" this is when you realise that this was not an option because the manager had wasted so much money on it, we don't want to make them look bad to do we? So then we have a meeting with the company that made the mess, and they report back that I am talking rubbish they had done a fantastic job. I exit the business. I can still see they have not managed to sort the mess out after 13 months of me leaving. I, however, have moved on and increased the revenue at my new multi-million-pound workplace by 30% and still spent less than you have wasted.
