- Leadership is unprofessional, inexperienced and frequently disrespectful. Even senior leaders are spoken to in ways that are inappropriate, belittling and humiliating in front of staff.
- The CEO relies on past achievements rather than present capability. There is no clear strategy, no network brought in, and no meaningful progress in fundraising or partnerships despite almost a year in the role.
- Decisions are made without planning, logic or financial accountability. The organisation has been dipping into reserves just to cover salaries, yet still spends money on unnecessary "office re-decorating" while removing existing staff without cause.
- KPI targets are consistently missed at the leadership level, yet junior and mid-level staff are blamed and pressured to resign.
- The fundraising function shows little measurable output, while time is spent on tasks unrelated to actual fundraising work. Performance remains far below what the organisation needs to survive.
- The work culture feels unstable, reactive and unsafe. People are asked to leave without valid reasons, and positions disappear overnight with no explanation.
- Staff are overworked, under-supported and made to feel that “sacrifice for the cause” justifies exploitation.
- The organisation outwardly promotes “therapy” and “healing,” yet internally, staff morale is consistently damaged by poor behaviour, mismanagement and a lack of respect.
