Managers who know nothing to little about the actual job of the people they're managing
If your face doesn't fit, it doesn't matter how good you actually are at your job; you'll be overlooked for any positive feedback/progression
Disposable attitude to staff; no attempt at staff engagement other than throwing a (little) bit of money at some organised 'fun' aimed at young people
Overtime on permanently as they're don't hire enough people but constantly reiterate that they've done the maths and there's enough full time employees to cover the work
Atmosphere of dislike from management to their teams and overly obvious false pleasantries
Management talk about each other to each other in ear shot of staff
Management talk about staff members in a derogatory fashion when they're not there, in earshot of other staff
Nothing is ever confidential- gossipy environment
Spanish Inquisition style tactics if you call in sick or are unable to attend due to a family member's illness
None sense 'brand beliefs' that don't translate into anything tangible and if you do try to demonstrate some thing; they're not interested
Air conditioning is crap; you'll be lucky to sit in a chair where you're not either permanently freezing or too hot
No cohesion between departments/sites
Over use of buzz words
No real training of any value given
Old fashioned management style- treated like children despite age/experience/ etc
Staff aren't trusted
Bonus is minimal and decided by ever shifting goal posts for measuring 'personal performance '
Too many 'improvement initiatives' that are nonsense pr don't address root of problems
Too many box ticking exercises
