Shaking Like Milk - Anonymous employee Videndum plc Employee Review

I can't believe the current situation that Vitec has found themselves in. The intimidation that seems to be rippling through the organisation, leading employees that have been in the business for decades that know their jobs inside out, employees that have probably forgotten more than the current management team will ever know, to be sat in meetings shaking with fear, crippled with anxiety and terrified to speak. The leadership from the top is swiftly paralysing the creativity, passion and drive of its staff and turning us all into mutes simply keeping out of the spotlight and collecting a pay check. In a bid to try and ease the current staff turmoil new Long Service Awards have been put in place, in the vane hope that this will revitalise staff's enthusiasm and to paper over the cracks of the blatant poor management, but they couldn't even get this tick box exercise right. Most logical people would backdate any awards that would be due to staff if they were not currently on a 5 year increment, not this leadership team! The whole point of motivating the staff has been missed and had quite the opposite effect with years of service not being recognised because they are not within 18 months from the previous 5 year anniversary. They are not even intelligent enough to understand that this would put people's noses out of joint and demotivate them still further. I could go on, but like many in the business, I don't have it within me anymore.
