No structured onboarding. New hires receive little guidance during the first months. Most learning happens through trial and error. Staff rely on colleagues for help, yet colleagues already handle heavy workloads. Knowledge transfer stays inconsistent and incomplete. Training support stays weak. No formal training plan exists for new employees. Staff receive targets and responsibilities without proper preparation. CEO shows poor people management. Communication often turns aggressive. Staff hear shouting in the office when leadership feels unhappy about results or decisions. Shouting also occurs when he questions work he previously approved or forgets prior approvals. Public scolding creates tension and discomfort across the workplace. CEO often focuses on personal status and past connections. Conversations frequently revolve around who he knows or companies he worked with. Many of those individuals left those companies years ago. These discussions feel disconnected from current business realities. Leadership places strong emphasis on status as one of four accredited media outlets in Singapore. This point appears often in internal discussions. Market visibility and influence feel far smaller than leadership perception. Internal processes move slowly. Approval for small or routine items often takes a long time. Simple decisions require multiple rounds of checking which slows down daily work. Workplace culture feels political. Favoritism affects how certain staff receive treatment or opportunities. Office gossip appears common across departments. Career growth stays limited. Few clear promotion paths exist. Employees struggle to see long term development inside the company. High staff turnover across departments, often in double digit numbers. Frequent resignations create knowledge gaps.
