Leadership is on another planet - Anonymous employee Scope Employee Review

Leadership. The entire executive leadership team is completely detached from reality. One is openly ableist - not good for a disability charity. Another wants to replace the workforce with AI. As a collective, they are determined to throw away money on vanity projects with no return on investment and now the organisation's finances are in the depths of hell as a result. They are currently proposing massive redundancies for the second time this year. Of course, they've kept their own jobs safe. Instead, despite a commitment to becoming an anti-racist organisation, their proposals disproportionately negatively affect people of colour. Despite being a disability charity, their proposals disproportionately affect disabled employees. They also disproportionately affect women. Funny how white non-disabled men come up ahead in the redundancy proposals given that they also come up ahead in leadership. The pension is the bare legal minimum, and they expect us to be grateful for it. They refer to it as a benefit and a perk. It's not. It often feels like we're in the trenches. We are routinely expected to work additional hours to complete non-essential tasks because it will make someone more senior look good. Workload had increased exponentially despite much lesser resource and man power. And leadership promise it will change, and have been promising for 2 years. Yet it continues to get worse on all fronts.
