- The Leadership Team. Never have I known a group of directors more disassociated, dismissive, and capricious, towards their staff. They promote false platitudes of “Accountability” and “Collaborative”, and then come up with every excuse under the sun as to why things aren’t going right or fail to effectively communicate change. On multiple occasions have I witnessed members of this leadership team yelling and once screaming at their staff. It’s unacceptable in today’s society and especially when it’s at young members of staff. No-one reports it however because they know nothing will be done about it.
- The HR director in particular is condescending, spiteful, and cannot take feedback. If your opinion does not align with hers then you’re wrong. End of story. Even if you provide all the evidence necessary that what you’re saying is fact. This is a dangerous mindset and needs to change.
- The company makes promises it cannot keep. We are often overworked to achieve wild deadlines that we were never going to make. This is across the company. Burnout is a serious problem as we hop, skip and jump from initiative to initiative. “Big push”is used year round and as a result morale is through the floor.
- MiddleGround Capital. Bought us a few years ago. Since then, we’ve not hit our annual targets twice in a row, overtime pay has been removed, staff haven’t been replaced but the expectations have grown. Something is desperately wrong with this equation. This is driven in part by their ridiculous goals and interfering consultancy company Banner.
