Svantaggi
WSP is the most unethical, inappropriate, unprofessional, and toxic firm I have ever worked for. They bullied, retaliated, changed policies/standards/procedures only to me (even company-wide policies), violated their own Inclusion and Diversity policies, and purposely put unrealistic expectations only on me to make me fail for 4 months worth of pursuits (such a toll on my mental health). This all started when I made a formal HR complaint on a Marketing Manager for not to replying any of my emails for 5 months - yes, 5 months. This Marketing Manager had a history of being offensive to other marketers and technical teams. I escalated this behavior to my Marketing Manger and the CA District Manager and was told to work around her or do her work for her. Since this behavior went unaddressed for 5 months, I made a formal complaint with human resources, and the entire marketing management team retaliated against me for the following 4 months (9 months total this toll on my mental health). To remedy the situation, management told me I shouldn't have gone to HR and not answering emails for 5 months was appropriate, professional, and reasonable behavior for a work environment. They formulated an "Action Plan" for me and told me I was the problem. From that point on, they bullied me and sabotaged my pursuits. I was told by my Marketing Manager and the CA District Manager that they would not help me (literally, they said they would not help me in any way with my work), because I should know what their concerns were and how to fix them. When I took time off, they would not fill in or assist pursuit teams in my absence to make my job incredibly hard. I worked 30 hours in 2 days and ended up in the emergency room. They didn't even assist pursuit teams for that so I had to continue to work long hours when I returned. They isolated me from the rest of the team, added their own HR rep to every phone call, intimidated me into submission, wouldn't let me talk and constantly interrupted me so I could only answer with one word responses, told me I wasn't allowed to tell my pursuit/technical teams their decisions even though I wholeheartedly disagreed with them (e.g., limit the number of pages on a proposal even though the proposal allowed us more pages), withheld support/direction/guidance only to me to ensure I fell short, went out of their way to make my entire work environment unhealthy (e.g., threatened me that they didn't have to give me any support or resources if I didn't do what I was told), and humiliated me in front of pursuit teams and my peers. They made only me give them 3 days notice if there were any changes to my schedule (which sometimes included me taking a lunch - not to mention I'm salary), made only me go into the office every week, made only me travel to SoCal from a different state (there and back) within 24 hours even though all other out of state employees were allowed 36 hours, revoked my "privilege" to a "4-9-4" work week, and required me to work 50-60 hours every week even though that was never the norm before I made the HR complaint. They violated their entire Inclusion & Diversity policies. Management put more time into plotting against me than providing a safe, healthy, and supportive work environment. Overall, I know I didn't do anything wrong. They were hostile towards me because I didn't follow their agenda which was a reflection of their management and that's something I can't fix.
