-I left because I observed a noticeable decline in the effectiveness and credibility of the local leadership. There's also significant shift in culture later part of 2025.
-HR is the number one violator of policies and enabler of not so good leaders. (coming in to the office late, and leaving early for the gym dates or law school, studying during work hours). They are also going on prolonged coffee breaks with other leaders plus their romantic partners. Also, their clique is known as gossipers and power trippers.
-HR tolerates some leaders who spend their time playing pingpong, majority of their work hours, or hours gossiping because they are close with the head of department.
-HR stays mum with ethical violators like bullies; unfair treatment of managers or even those who don't comply with the reporting days in the office. Employees hear HR saying that "that's not part of my work" or 'I'm not paid enough" causing delay in the services expected by the employees.
-This is the open secret talked about by employees in Manila. To some this may not be impactful but to employees who work hard- seeing leaders lack accountability or HR running lazy everyday or doing other things other than work, it can be a very demotivating sight. Just dropping this here since SC employees think that this is supported by leaders. (I left so no shame here.)
-I like SafetyCulture, the new CEO is also great, he visited the office & gave honest insights. A lot of people resign from the company just because of the HR and leader left running this office. Otherwise, work is manageable, pay is reasonable, benefits are satisfactory, and you can work independently. (less stress if you're not lazy) It's also stable, no redundancies whatsoever.
