Raised concerns to leadership, was fired a week later
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Within weeks of joining, I could see how demotivated and visibly afraid the team was around our manager. He routinely smoked, swore, and made inappropriate comments in front of other teams. You were either his favorite or treated like dirt - no middle ground, no proper instruction, no constructive feedback. He would also pit team members against each other in private.
I eventually raised my concerns with senior leadership and was promised a transfer to another team. A week later, I was abruptly fired and told to drop off my laptop and leave - despite my legal right to stay in the country being tied to that job. The manager in question was himself let go not long after.
This company likes to present itself as a warm, inclusive workplace, and that holds while things are calm. But when investor pressure builds, entire teams - Marketing especially - get cut.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
If your default response to investor pressure is to cut entire teams, stop pretending the culture is people-first. The people you cut were the ones building the thing. The gap between your stated values and how you behave when things get tight is the actual culture
