Dehumanising - Anonymous employee World Animal Protection Employee Review

Over the past few months working here has become dehumanising, demoralising and depressing. The organisation works in an environment of command and control veiled as consultation and collaboration. Consultations with staff are largely ignored or unscrupulously manipulated to support a predetermined agenda. There is a complete lack of transparency even though the words are used frequently. The new leadership is consumed with internal processes, paperwork and structures. Work to help animals has been put on the back burner for months as a poorly conceived organizational restructure is being propelled forward at pace without regard for the effects on staff or the organisation. Highly skilled staff are being terminated. Many others are jumping ship, fed up with the lies, confusion and lack of meaningful work being done.
