Such a shame - Administrative Assistant edyn Group Employee Review

The only positive is the time before the new CEO came in and the relief when you are away from this company.

A group of misogynistic, immature middle-aged men is destroying a company and its corporate culture, operating on the edge of what is legally permissible. Anyone who doesn’t play along with this game is ignored and pushed out; yes-men are promoted and regarded as good employees. In the end, every single person is just a pawn in the theater of a few sociopaths in management, whose sole purpose is to bleed the company dry in order to sell it at the highest possible price, cash in on bonuses, and stroke their own egos. Good employees are fired or driven away to make room for the CEO’s old companions, who actively support him in his mission and his charade. This management is driven solely by its own greed and lacks any behavior that could be described as leadership, empathy, or respect. Rather, they act like a swarm of locusts, devouring everything and leaving nothing positive behind. Anyone who wants to achieve something in their job, make a difference, or simply be respected as a human being is in the wrong place here. This is a suicide mission that drives even the most resilient and robust people into burnout in short notice of time.

The staff on-site are great, they have so much potential to run the coolest hotels ever

Objectively, reviews look like bitter, former staff who have been let go in the redundancy round at head office. However, as I am currently a working employee, I can attest to how bad it is. The CEO has brought all his former Generator buddies (yes, there are literally ALL men) to work for him at edyn. Which is understandable, because these buddies do exactly what they are told to appease the CEO. I guess they do this, as they are rewarded with trips on yachts in Thailand and Singapore (while staff on-site are being told to cut costs, cut costs, cut costs) The CEO, has to approve every single thing (hence the word micromanagement has been used alot in these reviews) and will even visit a property unannounced, not spend any time on saying hello to staff, and then send a long list of "what is wrong". I truly understand the need edyn has had to cut costs, as it is a business at the end of the day and therefore should make money. However, the way this company is run at the moment is absolutely unacceptable and will be their downfall. I hope anyone with respect for themselves looks for a job somewhere else, because I absolutely promise you, you can do SO much better. Perhaps this dictatorship worked for Generator, but I really hope changes are made here, before it is too late. It will be very sad to see.
