CEO is ruining the company

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people working for the company who really care about the work they do. Benefits are great. Many contracts so it’s easy to be moved when yours ends.

Cons

CEO is trying his best to make Riverside a destination company, but seems to think the best way to do so is to threaten everyone into pretending it’s true. He is demeaning and treats females the worst. When he decides he’s finished with you, he ignores you and sets you up to fail, because he would rather make you miserable so you quit instead of just firing you. His weekly emails, with empty apologies, are a testament to what a poor leader he is and highlight the bad business decisions he makes for all to see. Hopefully the board wakes up to the damage he’s causing.

Riverside Research Response

Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback seriously and are working hard to make this an excellent place for all employees. If you’re comfortable, we encourage you to reach out to HR or to use our new feedback tool on the intranet. Again, thank you for taking the time to submit your comments.
