No organization is perfect.
However, in my 10+ years career, I’ve never witnessed or experienced workplace bullying like I see here. Those who deign to challenge the status quo are whipped into line quickly and if they resist they are swiftly shown the door. The prevailing attitude of the senior leadership team is if you don’t like it then leave. And many have.
I have had the “pleasure” of going in front of the executive team MANY times and walking into that room I could see the division in the group, so it’s no wonder they take their frustrations, with their peers, out on the employees below them.
The middle managers - a talented group of people, actually get the job done, but are constantly held down by self-serving AVPs and VPs above them.
No matter where you go in the organization, there are lots of whispered conversations from groups of people who are so unhappy that are plotting their escape routes. Whether Client Service, Operations, Underwriting, Compliance, Sales, Marketing and HR. Everyone wants to get out and it’s no wonder when bullying, micromanagement and public humiliation are dealt in spades, with faint praise given to a select few.
If B2B Bank calls, no matter how desperate don’t take this job. The grass is not greener over here and there are many snakes in the grass.
