Amazing Work Culture - Event Executive The Live Group Employee Review

Don’t have anything nice to say

I worked for this company on a short-term event job and was told by the boss that if I stayed for an additional hour after my shift, I would be given overtime pay. The person in charge and the client both approved the arrangement. After completing the extra hour, we were later told that we would not be paid for it because we came in an hour late the next day — even though other workers who also came late but didn’t do the extra hour still received full pay. We were also only informed halfway through the extra hour that we wouldn’t be paid, which felt very unfair and unprofessional. When I raised the issue politely with the lady boss, she shut down the discussion and said the case was closed. She even asked me to pay back my salary just because the outcome wasn’t according to her plan. This experience was extremely disappointing. I hope the company can treat its event staff more fairly and communicate payment terms clearly in future.

There are no pros here.

The boss is actively using their staff (even executives) to bank roll their operations. Making staff pay for operational expenses into the thousands and then to pay them back a month or more later in claims. Actively owes thousands of money to suppliers hence management will try to stay out of the office as long as possible to avoid debtors. Staff are pressured to lie to suppliers to extend the credit term. Management also hires senior level project managers with the promise of a full-time contract but the only reason is to kick start important projects and to let them go once the project is over. Management also owes a number of past employees several months of unpaid wages and some have already sent their complaints to MOM. Company has also gone multiple changes in name before, everytime the debts are too large to manage, management will change the company's name and move its operations and cut off communication to debtors. Company has once laid off all of its workforce under the pretext of shutting down the company with no notice.
