Less like a workplace and more like a cult! - Finance IMC Employee Review

Now known as Tsao Pao Chee, it's a family-run operation where the owner is worshipped like a deity. Management, a mix of family and outsiders, engages in intense political maneuvering, constantly competing for favor in front of the 'master'. They act obedient to his face but gossip and undermine him behind his back. Employees are severely overworked, forced to wear multiple hats with little recognition. HR, or 'People Organisation' (PO), is utterly detached and clueless about real-world issues, flaunting luxury items while neglecting staff needs. And don't get me started on the mandatory 'mindfulness retreat'. It involves long hours of walking in the dark, blindfolds, kneeling, and religious music for a week—supposedly transformative. Skip it, and you're labeled a dissenter. Despite advocating well-being and an elevated level of consciousness, the reality is a toxic environment where staff emotions are suppressed and pressured to fake spirituality just to fit in. Unless you're eager to waste your skills, endure mental strain, and join a pseudo-spiritual cult, steer clear of this place.
