Culture Of Lies, Bullying and Collusion

Operations team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The lovely members create a family away from home and select staff who don't compete against each other or hoard information to filter to Senior Management for nefarious purposes.

Cons

Centre managers, HR and Senior management target the most competent when they feel threatened via applied knowledge, experience, new ideas. HR is used as a tool to remove staff when Senior Management give them the nod utilizing tactics which is strictly against their own code of conduct. There has never been any true accountability for the improper actions taken against staff as HR protect them by making the staff who brought the grievances to light the enemy

Business outlook

Pros

Some passionate staff remain since amalgamation.

Cons

Terrible culture, high burnout and staff turnover, and very low morale. A dictatorship with no room for staff to innovate or ask questions for fear of punishment. Bullying by management is the norm. Staff expertise is not valued or nurtured. Little to no staff training or professional development opportunities. Very poor staff facilities. Lack of communication between teams has resulted in countless missed opportunities, duplication of effort and wasted resources.
