Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your contribution over the past few years. We’re pleased to hear that you’ve experienced the team as friendly and found the role flexible. However, we’re concerned by the language used to describe colleagues in your review. At Co‑op, we expect all colleagues to treat each other with respect and professionalism. Language that labels or demeans others isn’t in line with the kind of inclusive and supportive working environment we aim to create. If you’re experiencing challenges with colleagues or team dynamics, we would strongly encourage you to raise these concerns constructively with your line manager. This allows issues to be properly understood and addressed in a fair and respectful way. We hope that moving forward you will do your part to maintain a positive and respectful workplace for everyone.
