Pros
Working from home. Was given flexibility and trust by my manager, but not all colleagues were this fortunate. Was a favourites game.
Cons
The current HR director, 2024 "HRD award winner", hides behind her divisional HR managers, making them communicate the difficult decisions and company direction, and refuses to get involved, even where there are serious complaints, high turnover, bullying and discrimination. HR colleagues this week found out they were at risk of redundancy. Except, instead of the HRD, as the leader, communicating this, it came from individual team managers that were briefed beforehand. Each team found out at different times and were given vague, confusing and contradictory messages. Some teams didn't even get told, for example where their managers were off, so heard through the grapevine!! Disgusting and poor redundancy process management. £500 million in investment just announced 2 weeks ago, this week it was decided that most of the HR team would be made redundant. Shocking decisions from clueless leaders. Pay is bottle of the barrel and there are no employee benefits.
