I’ve met some despicable people and even made an enemy
I’m talking only about the department I’ve worked in, I’ve seen some beautiful professionals there, probably I’ve just got very unlucky. Though it’s likely that the issues are probably systemic, fish rots from the head after all.
Management is aimless, unqualified, the strategy can be described as “we need to run, don’t care in which direction but faster!”
What started out as an interesting new experience turned out as a nightmare. My manager was able to turn out the work that I liked doing into the painful burden, I hated every single day,
There was an atmosphere of distrust and it seems like snitching was actively encouraged. I’ve went to HR for a consultation (which I’ve wrongly assumed to be confidential) just to regret that later.
“Leaders” were badmouthing employees behind their backs.
Hypocrisy, attempts to control by fear, I can keep going for hours…
My mental health severely deteriorated, physical health suffered as a consequence. I’ve got a literal psychological trauma that I’m still recovering from.
Lately the whole situation just went down the drain, benefits removed, multiple layoffs per year, people were lied to with “our branch has nothing to worry about for at least a quarter” If you can’t keep up with your words - just stay silent!
I think the company will probably close a few offices during the course of a year or two.
