Profitability over ethics - Recensione dipendente - Brand Manager presso CBC Group

Great company with great leadership

Want more meetings with leadership

Excellent peers and genuinely interesting supply chain work The technical scope of the role was a real opportunity on paper

No raise or bonus structure. Barely meets market rates-- with very poor healthcare. I had only positive performance feedback for years. A new manager arrived, and within four months I was terminated — after delivering a doubled SKU workload and leading the technical execution of a major ERP go-live on schedule. A pay increase was formally promised in November to reflect expanded responsibilities. It was never paid out. Anyone considering this employer should get compensation commitments in writing and understand they may not be honored. The same manager directed me to "take charge" and "lead," then reframed those exact behaviors as needing to "be humble" once I acted on them. Asking for role clarity was characterized as not being a team player. I was pulled from 1:1s after raising concerns. Major decisions on the ERP implementation were made by leaders who hadn't logged into the system in months and hadn't completed available training. Technical staff who knew the platform were overruled, then blamed for the resulting delays. I personally observed sustained verbal disparagement of staff — including the entire team being labeled "lazy" repeatedly within a single manager's first month. A coworker who tried to push back was framed as "disrespectful" and ultimately left under bad circumstances. During a December team trip, I personally experienced and witnessed conduct that I would describe as well outside professional norms, including unsolicited commentary on personal life choices, family planning, and use of personal wealth disparities to imply a power imbalance.
