Castle Water took over Affinity for Business as a merger.
After flying down in his private plane the CEO stood in front of the entire company with his smirking colleagues and said that all of our jobs were safe.
We recognised that some jobs would be lost for duplicate roles however within weeks everyone was at risk of redundancy.
Yes 100% of staff.
And guess what 100% of roles were made redundant. And the reason why? Our pay was great, our annual leave was brilliant, maternity benefits fab, pension, mental health initiatives I could go on and on.
Castle Water pay is shockingly low, they include bank holidays as part of your leave but don't recognise all bank holidays. No benefits to speak of. Oh and they don't care about their staff. In the brief time of 'working' with them- take that term loosely as they used everyone.. they only spoke when they wanted something, made some people literally crack under the pressure and then discarded them, there was sniping between CW team members - tit-for-tat to remove blame for issues. Their expectations of reasonable workloads is insane and no one can cope with it. There is a blame culture which stinks and they have actively told customers lies about AfB to cover their poor choices. Dont be fooled into thinking that anyone has any kind of say in their jobs. Its run like a far right organisation (Guess the word not allowed) CW staff were not told about our mass culling either - that was left to us to embarrassingly say. Thanks. They wanted to crush our company because it had an amazing culture, because our customers, were happy, because they were our biggest rival. Well you did it.
Left as under a year employment because let's face it, you paid us but I wouldn't call that a career.
