1. The management created a hostile environment that undermined trust, psychological safety, and growth.
2. Feedback was often met with defensiveness or passive aggressive responses.
3. Emotional manipulation was used to control the team.
4. Micromanagement disguised as “mentorship”, autonomy was nearly impossible.
5. Public praise was used selectively to divide the team rather than unite it.
6. Leadership talks a lot about values like transparency and empathy, but my experience was the opposite. fear and power games.
