Virtue signalling and narcissitic leaders

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Extra week of annual leave and good superannuation.

Cons

- senior leaders on the whole are narcissistic and behind closed doors are incredibly dysfunctional. - They promote a great culture but refuse to acknowledge poor performance at the C level with sexism and homophobic behaviours often on display. - Promoting a RAP when they refuse to entertain even the idea of acknowledging the land is absurd. - Bullying is not taken seriously, The amount of ex employments that get paid out because they angered a favoured employee is rampant.

Be careful not to get sick

Business outlook

Pros

Good overall culture, pleasant people

Cons

Company makes a lot of noise about preventing precarious work, dignity at work, modern slavery, but could do a lot better in applying these ideas to its own staff. For a company that is 80% women and pays a lot of lip service to diversity / inclusion, it is brutal with women who may have reproductive issues, menopause challenges, etc. High-pressure, my-way-or-the-highway approach, zero respect or sympathy for staff who suffer from stress. Team structures change, seemingly randomly, every year or so. Very top-down management approach, annual staff survey is a farce, those expressing concerns told to shut up or leave. Oh, and work systems are chaotic and difficult to navigate -- no-one understands or cares about where information is kept and how it is accessed. All this for distinctly average pay.
