Finance HK counterpart tends to present well initially, with problematic behaviors emerging only after several months (true color)
Management culture is toxic and highly unprofessional. Communication is poor, and explanations are often misunderstood or dismissed, even when clearly expressed in English. Leadership operates with a “we are always right” mentality, leaving no room for discussion or clarification.
There is excessive nitpicking and micromanagement, with minor issues blown out of proportion. Worse, management tends to twist employees’ words and use them against both individuals and the team, creating unnecessary conflict. This behavior appears intentional, fostering tension and encouraging internal disputes rather than collaboration.
I am the 10th Finance Manager in this role, which strongly reflects the lack of stability, support, and effective leadership within the organization.
Overall, the environment is stressful, confrontational, and unsupportive, making it difficult for employees to work effectively or feel respected.
