Worst experience of my life
Pros
The non management members of the team were lovely and supportive, and still support me now, after being unfairly dismissed.
Cons
This could take a while. I was working at the council from the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2021. I went to work from home, and had constant good reviews on my performance. At the end of 2020, I had issues with a new manager, and asked for a meeting, which was ignored. Because of this I raised a grevience, and was dismissed shortly after, for reasons i had no prior warning of. I have had an awful time as a result of this, working at Swindon Borough a council has honestly caused so much harm to my mental health. I still talk to my ex colleagues, who tell me management are all awful. I have a disability, and mental health issues, which they knew about, and when I started having issues, they offered no adjustments. The HR department are just as bad, they only care about management, and are only there to support them. From working there over 2 years I knew of 2 people raising greviences, around the way management and HR had treated them. Management also discuss other members of staff in a negative manor in front of colleagues. Steer clear, for your own sanity
