The absolute rotten core of the leadership team, who espouse kindness and care however, if you challenge their view, or make a complaint they react in the most childish, mean, vindictive way.
enough was enough when at an annual company meeting one of the leader read out two letters of feedback from former staff. One which was critical, raising the points above, was read out in a pantomime villain style, spitting out the points raised by the staff member who felt isolated and demeaned by the culture, and venomous admin team who support senior management. Then a hand written note to both of the leaders was read slowly and affectedly; lingering on the sycophantic and uncritical praise of the staff member who was very much a ‘tcs’ Type.
To conclude the leader basically made the workforce consider - which one do you believe? The negative one was to be overlooked, it was some cretin with an axe to grind; essentially ignore the negative one and focus on the ego massaging one.
This explicit threat confirmed mine and many others worst fears that their ‘concern’ for welfare, and wanting to be kind and considerate, will only go so far, and only applies to those who conform and will be yes men to massage their ego’s
In addition to the above the playground politics of favourites isn’t even attempted to be concealed - toxic, bullying, useless staff members are rewarded for loyalty in spite of how appalling their behaviour is to new and junior staff members.
