- Unorganised, stressful and tense environment.
- Unrealistic expectations of new employees.
- Lies are told in job interviews e.g the company is moving to a bigger office, the company is expanding into America, they’re hiring more people, they have flexible working hours, once you complete your tasks you can go home, the office has a ‘chill’ and friendly environment.
- False promises about position, e.g. KPI bonuses are never tracked and no view of progression (as company cannot afford).
- Instructions relating to tasks are unclear, but a fear is placed upon asking too many questions.
- Drastic statements are made about small mistakes.
- Aggressive behaviour towards people outside office.
- Makes you fearful of taking sick leave as employees who do not take sick leave are praised and taking sick leave is a big deal.
- Boss does not provide workers with much needed software.
- Boss micromanages, makes you feel incompetent and slows down every task.
- No matter how hard you try and how well you perform you will not get recognition, praise or positive feedback from boss.
- Do not uphold their own cores values of ‘transparency, drive, adventure, gratefulness and innovation’.
- Very small team, only 2 people in-house currently and at max there were 4.
