Recently there has been extensive recruitment into executive and senior management positions. They are relentless in the pursuit of profit without regard for ethical considerations or the long-term sustainability. They foster an environment where unethical behavior is tolerated and encouraged and display the use of bullying behaviour, intimidation tactics, belittling remarks, and marginalise dissenting opinions. There is a pervasive atmosphere of fear and insecurity among employees, which is detrimental to productivity and morale. They are eroding the core values and principles that the company has long stood for. Despite the company's commitment to equality and diversity, women are experiencing bullying, are subjected to unequal treatment, microaggressions, and exclusionary behaviours. Executive and management level behaviour and language used towards women perpetuates gender discrimination. Women are challenged on behaviours, which if displayed by their male counterparts, would be deemed assertive or decisive. There is an Executive level drive to instil a culture where colleagues should conform to gendered expectations. This has created a toxic work environment that undermines the professional growth and well-being of individuals.

Flexibility - unless you're one of the high flyers, they're as flexible as my garden wall. Don't you dare ask to work from home and expect a modern working approach from a company that's still stuck in the 90s. Seriously, it's the 21st century, why on earth is it like the dark ages in there? It's absolutely a boys club, top positions are awarded to mates or those who's face fits the best. I saw first hand the sexism and racism first hand. If they don't like you, you're days are numbered, I promise you. A lot of these people have known each other for many many many years. Communication is like talking to a brick wall. You're promised upward mobility when in fact, you're shipped out to other departments completely out of your job role and made to feel like you're not a team player of you don't cooperate. "Oh its okay, I'll just tell so and so that you don't want to do x". Nice one, now I look like public enemy number one. They assure you that there are no nasty surprises but redundancies left right and centre WITHOUT being offered an alternative position. Sold a dream and delivered a pack of lies. The car park is nowhere big enough to fit the workforce so you're forced to get to the office much earlier in order to just be able to park your car. May as well wear Rollerblades to work. They preach how great Henry is for still working every day at his age. He walks around smoking a cigar and his dog in tow. Demanding more business etc. The execs just walk around bellowing on the phone through the middle of the floor. Now they're merging departments etc for "efficiency". Don't be fooled. It's for cost cutting. Oh and also, that's not Henry in the picture above, it's Marc Goldberg, CEO
