Svantaggi
Over the course of nearly three years at Academics, I experienced a culture where serious concerns were not handled appropriately and employees were not supported. I raised issues internally regarding inappropriate behaviour by members of management, but felt that my concerns were minimised and dismissed.
While the company appeared to act to protect its own interests at a senior level, I did not feel supported as an individual. I was placed in situations where I had to continue working closely with individuals I had raised concerns about, which created an extremely uncomfortable and, at times, intimidating working environment.
There were also clear issues around confidentiality, with sensitive matters being discussed openly, which significantly impacted my trust in management. The overall culture made it difficult to speak up without fear of being undermined.
The cumulative effect of these experiences had a significant impact on my wellbeing and ultimately left me feeling I had no option but to resign.
