Ruthless management, toxic atmosphere in UK and Germany
Pros
All ok until things go bad for the company. I worked with HRS for 4 years developing a very good portfolio of a previously untapped market. 4 years is a rather long period of time until they showed their true colours.
Cons
Mr Tobias Ragge himself made 25 out of a team of 30 people redundant within a couple of hours. No warning, no staff meeting, no letters, nothing. He flew in the morning from Germany, just to sack people in our office. I had gone into to work at 9am and by 12noon I was jobless. I was called into a meeting room with Tobias Ragge who 4 years earlier told me during my interview with him in the Cologne office, what a great asset I would be for HRS because of my hotel experience background. After the interview, he hired me, and 4 years later I was no longer good and my future was compromised because he hadn't managed his company finances correctly... Not only, he sacked me and others within a matter of minutes but he simply didn't care about following the legal process or hearing any concerns from affected employees. Totally ruthless.
