Teesside University Reviews

Management, Senior Management and above lack the capability, foresight, empathy and trust to do good by the organisation and colleagues under their responsibility. Always looking to drive down costs to the nth degree, to the detriment of colleagues who actually do the work, whilst establishing a culture where bullying, incompetence and failure are rewarded, and professionalism and hard work is at best ignored or at worst punished. The management lack the testicular fortitude to push back against the obviously ridiculous dictatorial decisions made by the members of the executive, which cause a lot of the failures in the organisation and subsequent fearmongering down the chain of command which only metastasizes the bullying culture. There is money for building new buildings but no money to improve the lot of the staff, where staff are left to stagnate professionally and financially.

Management don't care at all about the staff. Staff are overloaded and too many fall ill. Concerns are ignored. Good staff are driven out, ex: repeated severance deals, the summer 2017 debacle with the professors, the sudden closure of the School of Arts and Media. HR's sole purpose appears to be to protect the organisation from the results of dangerous management decisions. Avoid Teesside if you value your health.
