At first it was fantastic, but the cracks quickly start to appear when people disappeared without rhyme or reason. The complete incompetence in decision making and business development was blinding. No communication around company strategy with employees, 2 people on my team were let go without me even being informed and the decisions to hire and fire certain people when they'd finished on a client without warning was some of the least empathetic dismissals I've ever seen. We were consistently told the business was looking up followed by a massive cull of great people, some of which had children, mortgages and cars to fund in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Several times, earned bonuses were revoked without reason. I was personally dismissed with a weeks notice after having the highest performance of my team. 2 weeks before a redundancy payment would've had to have been paid out. Having placed 16 candidates against a target of 9, my bonus was revoked and shown the door via email with no negotiation on recieving my earned money. CEO went on holiday during my being 'let go' with no communication to say sorry, well done or thank you for everything, just slack disabled and an email from an FD i'd met once in my life. I've never witnessed such lifeless leadership in my life.
