Backward processes and horrible management - Anonymous employee Daikin Employee Review

6 out of 11 resigned in the department I am with (Beginning of the year). 6 newly joined after that and 4 resigned after 3-6 months. Working environment is very messy, files lying everywhere. Dust everywhere. Company Culture is terrible for mental health and physical health: During monthly closing, HOD expects to close in one day with no early cut offs for other departments. Everyone of us would have to stay till 11pm-1am and HOD expects us to come in 8am the following day. HOD goes back at 1030pm and comes in late the following day. Everyday there will be OT till 8-9pm even on weekends & PH. Everyone has to work late because of the backward processes the company is having. Just for a simple taxi claim, one has to write your name/amount to claim on a yellow paper (those you see in an old provisional shop), your attendance from HR portal, one more staff claim form to indicate reason of this claim. Attendance to sign by HR & staff claim form by HOD. You will get petty cash after 1 month. Some of us tried asking HOD to change this old school process but falls on deaf ears. As for the SAP system, It doesn't even have a basic journal template. All of us we have to key in line by line even for monthly recurring journals which is a waste of time. There is no shared drive in finance department, so we are all given hard drive to back up our files. Reason given by HOD was shared drive is too messy. When the team has to edit on the same file, we have to send each other emails on the latest copy. Another reason why we had to OT it's because of the excessive hours spent in meetings. Each meeting can go up to 6 hours long. It's so inefficient and ineffective. Every single report & journals has to be printed out in hardcopy. Let HOD review hardcopy. Waste of time and papers! Management has a lack of trust in their employees: During CB, all of us have to on video and unmute throughout working hours (even OT). At the end of the day, all of us has to submit daily tasks for HOD to review before we can leave the teams video together. Even for a monthly internal report to other department HOD, we had to ask permission and if my my dept HOD doesn't like this particular HOD, my dept HOD will make things difficult for the other HOD before my my dept HOD gives green light to send the report. A lot of politics making it inefficient to complete your work. During this pandemic, we are not encouraged to WFH. Company did not adhere to government guidelines of 50% in workplace. (even when there were confirmed cases in the company) Most of us are burnt-out, lack of work-life balance in this company and new inputs and suggestions are not valued by management.
