This is regarding LMX in the Netherlands
-Horrible treatment of women, bullied, undervalued, only seen as assistants or administrators, given menial tasks.
- Complete bureaucratic standards in management. Managers who have friends in high places, get protection of how they conduct themselves.
-its not what you achieve, it's about who you know.
-level of skills of management is low, uneducated and unskilled.
-full time work, overtime, working through lunch to produce work in time for deadlines are not appreciated.
-in my personal experience, I was used in a political game between the manager and managing director. My manager did not appreciate any good work I did and treated me as a threat. I later found out, I was the 10th person in this job position working with a manager who had been there for 10 years and all my predecessors had no more then 1 year contracts. The cost of hiring me was 20k EUR. Given the bureaucratic games, I was told that my contract was not going further and from the pressure and lack of appreciation of my work, I collapsed at work and was driven to hospital in an ambulance at the same time being pregnant. This was an awful experience, and so that other individuals do not go through the same experience, I'm writing this review.
-was also stitched with an education course that I had to pay over 5000 EUR for, despite the managers terminating my contract after. I've ended up poorer from working at LMX.
-bureaucratic managing director will act on your side but take side of manager at the end. WARNING if Managing director starts complaining about manager, don't agree or get involved, he's not on your side.
