Management is HORRIBLE, the “new” lab manager (held position since summer ‘24) is messy & comparable to a dirty politician. Will try to be friendly just to get the office scoop and make sure her short comings aren’t being the topic of conversation. Doesn’t care; don’t fall for the code switching. Big crabs in a barrel type environment. SP supervisor is a bully who lacks compassion and adult level maturity. Plays favoritism, holds personal grudges, very petty. Scared of her more rowdy employees and consistently picks and chooses what transgressions to address. Has people under her supervision that should have been fired years ago but because she picks on the “small” people (&I DO mean that literally and figuratively) and scared of others… those deserving of termination get to keep their jobs while others are forced out. Management claims to be on one accord but discusses each others personal business in office whispers to other employees/departments on a day to day basis. Nothing is being done nor has been done because that’s literally the culture there. HR is a revolving door/non existent and upper management literally just hold titles. Will lower pay on job postings just to keep employees from attempting to move departments, will promise promotion, lie on job postings about experience requirements etc just to keep people in their position. Again like crabs in a barrel.
