Good company - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Help-Link UK

Colleagues and peers are/were a friendly bunch but quick tell tales. People falling out is constant as the head office is staffed full of youngsters. A manager had a reputation for giving jobs to ladies who were pleasing on the eye. Even if they were poor at the role or had no credible experience to bring to the company. Shame as there was some hardworkers there.

HR are there to shoot you down, not to support you. You are expected to succeed after being thrown into the deep end of an already failing system and are then disciplined for this. If you have a health concern which may arise, they will not believe you unless you are literally dieing in front of them. They will refuse reasonabl e adjustments if they don't believe you. They also seek NO help at all in HR on how to support staff who are having personal difficulties. No bonus, no recognition, no motivation. The experience working with this company has literally ruined my life for reasons beyond my control, and their lack of care for their staff. This is HR and not managers. Heartbreaking when you know you couldn't help your situation. I had family problems and was told to 'remove myself from the situation' because it looked bad on me. The managers do their best, but those in the ivory tower of HR will ruin you.

Hard to think of any

HR are controlling and don’t treat all their staff equally, , management are just as bad and are more like dictators than managers. Management and HR together are manipulative bullies, doing so in a very careful way to make themselves come out on top. ‘Their way or no way’ If you’re one of their favourites and say ‘yes’ to every suggestion and opinion they give then you’ll go far, however stand up for what is right and challenge opinions, you’ll get swallowed up and spat out the other side. HR have no professionalism, no equality, no understanding or empathy towards any member of staff and even if you are right, you’ll never win. Also everybody makes promises they will never keep - if you get told you’re getting a pay rise, don’t get excited until it’s signed on the dotted line.
