De-humanising experience - Events Associate Living North Employee Review

I struggle to put into words how terrible working at Living North was. On my first day barely anyone dared to make eye contact. I realised very quickly that everyone's silence was because the young team were scared to open their mouths in fear of the co-owners. It soon became clear that the team were mostly post-grads with no real experience of office working. Despite the team being young it was clear that there was a lot of talent and dedication in all departments, however this didn't appear to matter to management who treated everyone poorly, apart from a couple of individuals who had been there a long time. On days when the co-owners were not in the office, these individuals would take on the role of manager and continue the tirade of nastiness towards the team. I saw countless members of the team leave within their first few days of starting at LN due to them being spoken to like dirt or shouted at in front of the rest of the office. It was truly a de-humanising experience working at this company and it's taken me a very long time to get over how myself and my colleagues were treated. Most of the team were on different salaries which was widely known and never amended. Other than making a couple of long term friendships from this role, I look back at my short time working there with regret and massive disappointment. My advice to anyone considering taking a role with this organisation is please don't do it, anything is better than working there.
