One leader of one department can single handedly destroy an entire organization's culture. A leader with zero care or concern for work-life balance. A leader who takes all credit or passes all blame. A leader who bullies and threatens employees' jobs. A constant hounding of "we will put you on a plan!" A leader who doesn't hear the people. A leader who doesn't care about the people. A leader who ridicules and puts down her people. A leader who is a leader by title ONLY and demonstrates absolutely nothing of a good people leader.
Sadly, HR has been confronted time and time and time again by employees from every level and from multiple departments. The executive team chooses to ignore it. I always thought highly of the CEO but have lost respect in the fact that she knows this is happening in her organization and does nothing to better the situation. Honestly, I wouldn't give Edmentum another 5 minutes of my time to write this, but there are so many talented and beautiful people there who are not being treated with respect. Their hearts are big and they have a passion to help kids, but behind the scenes, they are treated so poorly and they are worked more than anyone deserves!
You may think I am a disgruntled employee, but I am nothing of the sort. I was smart and I got out of there! After 10+ wonderful years, I chose to end my Edmentum career and start with a new company that is respectful, appreciative and listens to its employees. It's amazing!
If you are considering joining the services team, I urge you to network and find others in that department to ask about their experience. I assure you that I am not alone.
Good Luck!
