Toxic environment. Abusive leadership - Anonymous employee Preemptive Love Employee Review

The most terrible and toxic environment I have ever lived in. The amount of mental and emotional abuse, emotional manipulation, and gaslighting that is inflicted on employees is indescribable. Executives and managers talk as if employees have a voice and opinion, yet bully anyone who has anything to say into silence. Employees are relentlessly put down instead of being encouraged or empowered. The organization founders, Jessica and Jeremy Courtney, constantly speak of “empowerment” to the public and to the staff, when the only method they actually use is fear, believing this is what will get people to work harder. They put people who are well-connected and Insta-famous on pedestals (high-ranking positions) when these same people use intimidation on refugees as a means to get them to work harder. Later, the organization uses these refugees' photos in Instagram posts asking for donations. The Syrian refugees who work for this organization are paid $1.6-3/hr, which is way less than the minimum wage in Iraq. They take advantage of the terrible things happening to the people in the Middle East to make money. They exploit employees beyond limits, hiring entry-level workers who are eager to work hard and do whatever they can to succeed, only to abuse them, constantly expecting them to work overtime and on weekends without any compensation or hint of appreciation. Their method of firing people is creating an environment in which the employee will want to leave, making their life a living hell until they decide to quit themselves. Working for this organization is a waste of energy and time. Your mental health is more important than anything this organization claims to offer. I would not recommend working at Preemptive Love to anyone.
