Keep looking - Recensione dipendente - Manager presso Network Distribution

This place is the definition of "a good old boys club". The senior management team consists of older men that still abide by the idea that women are not equal and they treat them accordingly. I actually observed a conversation of the highest level executives where they discussed a female athlete that was a guest speaker at a conference. They made comments about how she looked in her outfit and even went so far as to describe it (it was a pink suit apparently). Not once did they talk about what she had to offer as a guest speaker, rather they focused on her appearance and athletic prowess. That demonstrated to me that they had no respect for her intellect, and by default mine. This all took place as I joined the group's conversation. I quickly exited the situation. There are other issues within the organization, mainly treating all employees fairly. There is no consistency to how policies are applied. People that are not "favorites" don't get the benefit of the doubt and are trapped in their roles with no hope of other opportunities. There are no documented HR policies for disciplinary action, which leaves managers with no resources or tools to enforce consistent behavior with their teams. I was stunned when I was told that there was no documented attendance policy when I needed to address it with an employee that was chronically absent and late. The rest of the team was well aware of the issue but my hands were tied to address it because there was no written policy. I was supposed to "talk" to the employee and impress upon them the expectations of Network - how can you do that when they aren't written down?? Lastly, there is no mechanism or tool to measure an employees performance that is objective. Nobody has any idea how much work each employee is completing. There is no quality audit process. It's frustrating as a manager and an employee. I'm glad I'm no longer there.
