Management & Work Culture Concerns: The organization suffers from immature and underqualified management. Many managers lack the necessary knowledge and leadership skills, often dismissing employee ideas in favor of impractical and poorly thought-out alternatives. There is no clear strategic vision or forward-looking plan for the core business and marketing efforts. Managers seem unfamiliar with professional standards or mentorship practices, functioning more as conduits of pressure than as leaders. Employees are frequently expected to work beyond office hours without consideration. Personal time off is heavily scrutinized, with employees being asked to justify their personal matters, often compared unfairly against work responsibilities. Some management decisions are counterproductive—for example, the belief that frequently changing employees’ seating arrangements boosts productivity reflects a lack of maturity and understanding of workplace dynamics. --- HR Department Issues: 1. Primarily supports long-serving senior management, often neglecting broader employee welfare. 2. Shows very little initiative in addressing employee concerns. 3. Consistently sides with management, even in serious matters such as gender-related complaints. 4. Employees are discouraged,and at times threatened, when attempting to report unethical practices. 5. The “Great Place to Work” recognition appears to be based on misleading or misrepresented feedback. 6. Once an employee decides to resign, HR and managers often insist on a rigid 90-day notice period. During this time, inappropriate workloads are assigned, and there's a lack of clarity around the actual relieving date. In some cases, employees are notified on short notice sometimes on the same day,that it’s their last working day, despite no prior communication.
