1. HR Communication issue
- No exit process
- Bad handover process
2. Work-Life Balance
- No respect in personal time
- Have to join meetings even on sick leave, personal leave, and sometimes public holiday. Or else consequences will follow (be blamed for the decision made on the day you were absent)
- Called on a weekend to join a meeting
- Called on Sunday at 11 PM to get a job done before 8 AM on Monday
- Called before work hour and failed to respond within 1 hour, got feedback for having a communication issue
3. Politics with upper management
- Pointing fingers and blaming the people who do the actual execution whenever anything goes wrong, and no responsibility from upper management
- CEO keeps telling people to 'be open' but you can't be open, have to play the politics and if you don't, there will be consequences
- survival is the key
4. Unrealistic project timeline
- Timeline given for huge projects are not reasonable
- If you fail to meet that timeline, all the blames and finger-pointing starts
5. Lack of expertise
- Decision-makers lack the expertise to make an appropriate decision
- Putting the wrong people in the wrong job (wrong skillset) due to lack of resources
