Management is always late for meeting. Time management skills are terrible.
Expects employees to stay back for meetings at 7pm due to the 'multi-tasking' octopus abilities of management.
Being a start up, pay is peanuts. Still expects employee to perform tasks and functions that are out of job scope as though they are being paid 10 times their current pay.
During pay negotiation and offering of contract, will inform potential employee that company is a startup, hence pay is low. Management promptly contradicts that a few months later by claiming company is not a startup when it suits the company's agenda.
Management makes company the most inefficient and unproductive one this employee has worked for.
Despite multiple and early reminders to management to buy stock items, management will insist on inefficient multi-tasking, miss deadlines to buy stock items and cause hardships to employee.
Claims take a terribly long time to be processed. They are paid out at least 2 months after employees have left the company. This is after repeated cajoling and reminder; management blames everything under the sun for delay. This is in direct contravention of Singapore's manpower laws, where all salaries and claims need to be paid out on the last day of an employee's tenure. Management still threatens to withhold claims, claiming processes have not being put in place whilst employees were employed in the company.
Inefficient work processes by management means that there is no peace even during weekends. Phones will beep with incessant messages even at 1am in the morning, with management demanding answers. Ignore at own risk.
Management needs to be placated and managed like a little child. Management is prone to nepotism, despite repeated claims not to do so. They are free from blame with employees baring the brunt of it. Let's face it, who scolds the children of management despite repeated mistakes.
When one resigns, they are put into cold storage. They are publicly shamed with veiled referrals to furnitures, deadweight and jokers. Management spreads fear amongst current employee by telling that the economy is terrible and employees who leave will have a hard time finding jobs. This is definitely not true, employees who have left this company have all found jobs, with much better pay and working conditions, including this employee typing this review. Let it be said that working at Reta have not helped in securing my current job, in face Reta have been excluded from my resume altogether, enough said.
