Clear subgroups have often been created with senior managers in charge. in these "bubbles" everything is allowed. you can drink copious amounts of alcohol and come to work clearly under the influence the next day. dissenting opinions are effectively silenced with systematic bullying. Open bullying also occurs between and from senior managers in the management team. If it is further reported or tried to be noticed by, for example, the CEO/HR, you will be wound up and/or bought out with the CEO's blessing. toxic culture with a scapegoat syndrome where your years of service gossip about how many people you threw under the bus or how you managed to make yourself invisible. unhealthy staff turnover among middle managers and an incredibly arbitrary culture around the reward system (salaries and training). people who would absolutely never be managers/leaders are absurdly promoted and protected. should you in any way step on the toes of one of those "sacred cows" in any way or disturb their sandbox, you are finished. The financial result is the most important factor. If you are a middle manager and it goes "worse" for a month or so, it is legitimate for higher managers to liquidate one as soon as possible. Not even going to try to describe what it's like as a woman in this workplace and there are hardly any left to ask (3 female managers have had to quit so far during quarter 1 2023). tip is not to like or somehow happen to notice some of the industry colleagues' posts on social media, then you will shortly receive an unpleasant call from a senior manager or that it is openly noticed in the coffee room or in a meeting in a humiliating way. The Work Environment Agency would have fainted if they started to audit the company. looking for any job I can right now, get me out of here!
