- Too number driven and likes to measure many things, driving sales team to high level of stress, low morale and becoming more selfish because not hitting personal daily target leads to close monitoring and questioning by managers
- Management decision changes very quickly, causing disruptions to workflow and long term planning
- Dissemination of information is very poor; top management A won't know about information X that top management B says which is supposed to be known to the management
- High employee turnover in finance, sales, marketing departments
- Key personnel and senior employees in terms of rank and years of working in the company left
- Resignations not openly communicated to the team so that enough time is catered for handover
- CEO always looking to do new things, initiatives and projects especially those that she can receive a lot of publicity and limelight, but rarely stick to them until the completion
- CEO does not care about projects that are not interesting anymore by withdrawing herself from managing them and swiping on mobile phones during discussions
- Firing occurred very suddenly and untimely, eg, during festive season, and still distribute work to the employees and get them involved in committee discussion on the very same day of firing, pretending things were as per normal
- Expects results but give insufficient time for people to learn and prove their abilities, this also leads to quick firing within days of hiring (which ironically took place after rounds of prudent interview with teammates, team lead and top management)
- Low morale, insecurity because of the bad business performance, the uncertainty about company's future and cost-cutting measures
- Not transparent and did not acknowledge that the management was responsible for the sentiments and deteriorating culture and gave politically correct response that did little help
- Lower than market pay
- No bonus for many years, no 13th month bonus too
- OT common for sales team, especially if sales target not met
