Rotten at the Core company - Business Director Electrolux Employee Review

It’s clear that you had many frustrations while working at Electrolux, and you are entitled to your own viewpoint and to share your specific experience. Aside from your personal opinion about product quality or how raises are calculated, we can say that certain behaviors you have cited are not just a workplace Con but actually (if true) against both our Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. We expect all Electrolux employees to report these types of behaviors so that they can be properly documented and investigated in order for appropriate actions to be taken. This is not just what employees agree to do to be in compliance with policies, but rather part of what it means to be accountable to others in creating and maintaining a workplace we all enjoy and feel we can grow in. We hope that while you were a part of Electrolux, you reported this type of behavior to our ethics Alertline. This issue of working together to better all of Electrolux touches on one further area you mention: silos. It is true that within large organizations there can be a tendency to work in isolation—Electrolux is not unique in this way. As you point out, it is a negative practice especially if we recognize that we all need others in order to succeed at what we do. But statements about “global interference” and disparaging remarks about what you feel the qualifications of certain leaders to be actually promote the behavior that we would both agree is non-productive. The fact is that we are part of one company and though we operate in many different countries, thinking of ourselves as belonging only to Electrolux North America or Electrolux Italy does not help us make better business decisions or create a more collaborative environment. In any case, we wish you best of luck in the future.
