Recruitment/Role:
Not what was expected, it is a sales role and it should be made clear during the recruitment process
-Extremely high pressure: unrealistic targets in short time spans
-It is not about building relationships as advertised with investors but rather bringing in delegates = hitting targets
-Repetitive, one dimensional, and challenging in the wrong ways (hard to get in touch with people, feels like we are constantly annoying people)
-We have great talent in the wrong positions and roles totally mismatched
-No support in achieving targets
- There is a famous saying in the office you either swim or you drown
Other issues:
The manager added a private number to what’s app group while on holiday constantly reaching out and demanding
-Manager calls staff while on holiday. If staff is on another meeting with other staff, he demands the meeting to end abruptly so he can have his own meeting
-Insulting and humiliating comments used to describe work efforts
-Anxiety across staff as there will be random calls at random times asking for multiple things at the same time
Culture:
-No transparency (Staff leaving is only communicated days before they do, at times it's communicated to us when they already left, people with years of experience are held on low salaries;
-Bullying is part of everyday office work
-Promotions are not based on merit but rather on whether you get along with the “privileged group”
-Senior Management makes often unreasonable decisions and overrides any suggestions or inputs made by the junior or mid-management team
-Issues you raised are discussed with people within the organization
-You are overworked and when you succeed no reward, but any mistake made you will get shamed and humiliated
