In all of my years working (25+), I have never experienced the level of toxicity that I did working here. First, it is discouraged to ask your colleagues for help and when I did, those coworkers on my team went back and complained that I asked them questions and thereby I was chastised for it. I was excluded from work I did and was told the client doesn't need to know all the people on the team so we don't get more questions. Really? The whole point of this role is to be available to the client for ANY questions. When I questioned not being copied on an email to 3 different people (again, on work that I did), I was deemed combative and aggressive which is totally offensive to me because I do not conduct myself in that manner. Circana offers "ME" days that are days you get to take off, but since we have a client, we need coverage on our team, which is totally understandable. I was told we take turns with coverage but every time I tried to take one of these days, I was denied. I was also denied vacation as I was out sick for a period of time, which clearly demonstrates a level of retaliation. Simply, no one showed me any basic human decency nor respect, which isn't too much to ask.
When trying to collaborate and work with my team, I would make suggestions and be completely IGNORED. Really weird dynamic. When I expressed this to my boss, I was told "don't take it personally". This is NOT a collaborative environment and people play favorites as well. Last but certainly not least, I experienced racist comments from one person on the team of which I told my boss and his response was just a smirk. Certainly a hostile work environment.
Don't work here if you want to be treated as a human being.
