Huge Egos on a Sinking Ship - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Ralph Lauren

-Huge egos, nasty attitudes and holier-than-thou mentalities coming from Senior Directors all the way up to SVPs. -Frequent layoffs, no sign of change or hope for this company. -No room for growth. SVPs and Senior Directors will clutch onto their team members for dear life no matter how badly they know people want to advance or move to a different label. -"This is how we've always done it" mentality. No interest in ever changing or improving workflow to accommodate older employees and management. -Senior Directors and SVPs use fear as a tactic to control employees. Extreme micro-management. -HR is frequently unavailable and unresponsive to complaints of mistreatment and aggressive behavior from higher ups. -Requests for more opportunities to learn/grow on the team are rejected. -Extreme favoritism and sadly even racism! SVP calling a person of color "lazy" behind his back when he was the hardest working person there, promoting actual lazy people because of their ethnic background/religion, other persons of color who were considered push-overs were held back in their positions for YEARS, and inexperienced friends of the Lauren family being hired in high positions. -Workload was very unbalanced. Some months were extremely busy and weekends were required, while other months people were sleeping at their desks. -Low morale in employees is noticeable and affects many, but nothing is done to help improve the very fixable situations. -Extreme waste in time and resources, more than I've seen elsewhere. Teams are so large, the individuals needing to participate in/lead meetings are often distracted by their phones or their peers talking to them. Meetings can take ages and designs can be made and remade a ridiculous amount of time because 20 people are asking each other, "What do you think?" and not making a solid decision.
