• There is no accountability for bad management. I didn’t have a one on one meeting with a manager in over five years, female direct reports were treated worse than males, no communication from my manager regarding department goals and feedback, yelling and screaming from him in meetings, his idea of motivation started with threats. And my manager seemed surprised when I resigned and asked why. I told him that I didn’t like the department culture or his management style. He then proceeded to act offended that my resignation was “less than 15 words, I’ve never had that before” along with negative critiques of my performance (which were never given before). It was much too late. He could have had those discussions anytime in the past five years yet chose to go on the attack at this point?
HR Lies
• They tell you via Glassdoor to get in touch with them if you have issues. I had issues and reported my manager. Nothing was done. HR tried to convince me that I did not experience what I did. In the end, I got the usual message that HR departments give to employees who try to lodge a complaint, “Stop being a problem”.
• The only reason Eversana has an ‘Engaged Employer’ notation on Glassdoor is that they put in the same pat phrases to every review they get. They don’t want to hear from employees as was proven by my experience. They can now get an AI bot to automate that for them. It would be about as meaningful.
• They have two employee surveys a year and tout that they are “in touch” with the employees. I know that if the department is big enough the direct manager receives aggregated results. The direct manager’s manager also receives the results by area. I repeatedly complained on both surveys about bad management – with examples. Nothing was ever done, no initiatives or conversations were ever started about the very real problems. At least two levels of management chose to actively ignore complaints.
Astonishingly out of touch upper management team: The daily life of a regular employee is being underpaid, overworked, not listened to at all, bad management, and constant layoffs. Upper management in all-employee meetings at the beginning of the year: “We are so stoked. We just flew a couple hundred senior people from our offices around the world to Cancun for the annual one week kick off meeting.”
