Systemic Bullying - Victims are the Losers

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some sort of pension scheme

Cons

HR do not act upon Grievance Finding of Systemic Bullying. Victims are side-lined, isolated and eventually made (by clever re-structuring) redundant. Managers close ranks. Very poor atmosphere in office - fear of 'rocking the boat'. Long hours, no lunch breaks, performance reviews doctored to be negative. Initiative and creativity definitely not wanted. Constant reorganisation, so having to apply for own job every 12-18 months. They don't see employees as assets only as liabilities. No training, no support, poor team work, no variety, no side-ways moves. Internal vacancies either 'closed shops' on unfillable.
