For starters the absence policy is so strict that I feel genuine fear everytime I'm unwell and have to call in.
You are made to feel like you don't matter. The team leaders only act like you exist if you take on extra unpaid tasks and forsaken if you fail. However it is growing increasingly difficult to obtain any extra tasks as new projects almost always go to one of the team leaders friends or romantic partners as nepotism is rife.
There is also a terrible double standard at play team leaders are apparently above all rules of conduct as they can take extended breaks, play on their phones and chat at their leasure; whereas DV's are harshly repremanded for the slightest offence.
You are also expected to routinely step out of your job description and perform the tasks of other job roles with absolutely zero financial reward. Sometimes you might get something from a prize cupboard. But you're only likely to get something if your a team leaders pet project, friend or sleeping with them.
Most disturbingly; recently its become apparent that despite being I believe the lowest paid position in the charity you are still expected to take full responsibility for any and all mistakes; with serious concequencese, especially those involving FCA regulations. Sometimes it feels as though we are being set up to be scapegoats or fall guys as we appear to be the least likely to make a fuss.
You might ask why I personally haven't raised these feelings officially and privately through work. But unfortunately the charity has a poor track record of taking feedback well and instead punishing anybody who states they are being mistreated.
