1. The 2.4% Fiasco: The initial pay offer was a joke that wasn't funny. Even though it was rejected and improved, the fact that leadership thought 2.4% was an acceptable "opening offer" during record inflation shows a profound lack of respect.
2. Micro-management at its finest: Requiring a GP certificate for a Monday/Friday sick day is the definition of "low-trust management." It’s a 19th-century solution for a 21st-century workforce.
3. Inclusive in name only: The company talks a big game about diversity, yet the daily reality involves a "boys' club" atmosphere where bullying (particularly against minority backgrounds) is swept under the rug.
