Poor management and leadership, and unethical practices at regional office in Singapore (YAA) - Recensione dipendente - Innovation presso Yara

1) Subpar and toxic middle management. E.g. a particular line manager was severely ability-challenged in terms of work, passing off her employees' work as her own and cutting them off from the next level(s) of management etc. She also launched surprise terminations on her employees without written reason, laughing in their faces during the termination meetings which she orchestrated. The fact that such actions were tolerated by HR and management is a problem itself. 2) Unethical and lacking in transparency over termination process, if there is any in place. Apart from the regional HR and management keeping mum about these issues, the Ethics Dept at the Global office, though alerted, did not conduct a thorough investigation i.e. did not interview affected colleagues. 3) Culture is superficially understood and hypocritically executed, paying lip service to the "No Retaliation" policy to ground feedback. 4) Little progression observed for locals. Top positions at regional (Asia and Africa) office in Singapore occupied by mostly non locals and non Asians. 5) Low efficiency and productivity, lots of waste in terms of spending. All in all, a major red flag for any potential employee - Business doesn't look well-managed regionally, and anyone can be terminated without warning or reason, whether you are on probation, or in a contract or permanent position.
