PAINFUL - Editor Oxford University Press Employee Review

Downgrading my previous review from two stars to one (I would give zero stars if that were allowed). We continue to be stretched further and further - less staff, tighter and tighter budgets, more forms and nonsensical systems - while being asked to create more content in more formats. That alone is difficult to manage, especially for editorial staff that cares deeply about the quality of their work. However, on top of this, managers and directors are harsh and belittle people at their whim. They spend their time building factions and bullying people rather than doing actual work and learning what their teams are actually doing. Responses to suggestions for improvement are met with more ridiculous top-down demands and initiatives. Despite constantly negatively reviews and survey results, management will not really listen. They don't involve their employees in coming up with solutions so they just bog us down further with more recycled bad ideas.
