Masonic Charitable Foundation Reviews

Weird culture of protecting quite blatantly incompetent managers, who just happened to have been in the organisation a long time but didn't contribute anything of value (and were actively detrimental to staff wellbeing and productivity at times). Attempts at fostering positive change or even acknowledging the need for change, particularly with regards to a toxic culture in particular departments, were nothing more than box-ticking exercises and rarely amounted to anything. HR were there to protect the self-serving and nepotistic management, rather than to act in the interest of all staff. Reward and recognition for hardworking teams was almost frowned upon, with many managers opting instead for a culture of intimidation to motivate their staff. Bullying was allowed to run rife in and across a number of teams.

Management don't care about their staff's mental wellbeing. They would rather let good staff go and save money, than pay them better for their experience and knowledge. Thus creating a cycle of new staff that need to be trained adding more strain to existing staff. They have no trust in their staff and there is a lot of lower level resentment. Communication is terrible.
