Good line manager supporting Asia

Lack of communication from top level

The office plants in Brighton are still alive, apparently. But WeWork is history. We did a good job of standing out in a difficult environment, working with companies globally and in Asia, especially India and Singapore in energy, commodities, and apparel. Salaries were competitive, and incentives OK.

Overpaid and underqualified Client Partners. After the UK Sales Director quit, leadership panicked. Enter Singapore-based Temu Marc Andreessen: no talent research experience, but a gold-plated referral parachuted in to fill the leadership void in Brighton. His first move? Shutting down all APAC operations in Malaysia and Singapore. Why? Because it suited him, several weak and costly hires hadn't worked out, and “retaining anyone wouldn’t be fair to those leaving.” Translation: easier to write off the entire team, rely on ChatGPT for client reports, and be unfair to everyone (equality is taken seriously), rather than do the hard work of a proper restructure or have an actual succession plan in place.
