Just when you think it couldn't get worse - Anonymous employee Anglian Water Employee Review

I'd give zero * if it were an option, 1 star is far too generous. We used to be great, the best place to work. We loved everything about AW but... The current CEO is the worse thing to ever happen to this company. I understand he was the highest paid government employee during his time with 2012, Crossrail and HS2. You only have to look at the resounding success they were, to understand why AW is heading for the toilet fast, if we're not already there. Looking at our infrastructure, it won't be long before there's a catastrophic incident soon. HQ seem to forget what our primary purpose in life is, to provide clean water, deal with sewerage and protect the environment. Morale is rock bottom, and really it is, staff want to do their best, but it's bullied out of them by the "new" management structure, who seem to do nothing else but pander to the CEO's whims and fancies, rather than stand up to him and tell him the truth. He doesn't even know what we do out in the field. He is absolutely cluess. He appears to be ignorant, arrogant and a bully, threatening you if you question any decision. He seems to think we're a construction company and everyone should be dressed up in railway grade hi-vis. If the public found out how much we're wasting on totally un-needed uniforms for some sort of reason that defies any logic whatsoever, they'd be an uproar. We're not spending money on the important things such as maintenance. The head of this snake needs removing before it's too late for AW to be salvaged.
