If you love being overworked and underpaid, it’s the perfect place to be!

I had the opportunity to work at Pro Sky, and I must say that my experience there was less than satisfactory. The work environment can be described as toxic, where employees' efforts are rarely appreciated. Long hours are the norm. One of the most frustrating aspects is that the a certain % of overhours cannot be compensated with time off, which further adds to the feeling of being overworked and undervalued. The compensation for the workload is certainly not commensurate with the demands placed on employees, leaving many feeling underpaid for what they do.
I observed a concerning trend of coworkers experiencing burnout. What troubled me even more was the lack of communication within the company regarding these burnout cases. It's disheartening to see that while the company may have made some adjustments for those who experienced burnout, there was little to no effort made to address the root causes or implement preventative measures. The systems in use give off a distinctly outdated vibe, reminiscent of technology from the 1980s. In practice, much of the work still relies heavily on manual processes, a far cry from the modern technologies and innovation they boast.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Dear ex colleague,
First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write your review.
I appreciate your positive remark towards our diversity, the mix of different nationalities, languages, religions, and age that we have at Pro Sky.
I am sorry to hear that you found our working environment toxic and wish that you had mentioned this openly towards your manager or People team during your time with us. Our aim is to encourage our colleagues to participate in the constant improvement and development of Pro Sky, also by appreciating their efforts and celebrating them e.g. in our company wide weekly Story Time with everyone, and in the weekly or bi-weekly Jour Fixes between colleague and manager.
Our business is volatile. By studying our overtime reports closely, we analyse if overtime is an ongoing situation or a peak that can be compensated in a narrow time frame again. In addition, we are working on a set up to provide more flexibility for our colleagues while also being available for our customers during flight preparation and when flights are taking place.
Regarding your observation of coworkers experiencing burnout and our lack of communication. Yes, we had and have singular cases of colleagues who have been on sick leave for a longer time since Covid started. The reasons for their absences are confidential. We only share what the colleagues themselves feel comfortable with. Being in constant contact with these colleagues, I can assure you that the diagnosis was and is not burnout for all of them. As much as I understand that it might be a source of wrong assumptions and rumours, also in the future I will put the trust of the colleagues first and not share any details about their situation with the overall company.
I had hoped that our repeated mental health presentations, sharing of personal experiences and the availability of the tool “open-up” had been a way to address the root causes. The average (obviously anonymous) number of users of open-up would emphasize that the danger is not anywhere near your description – and still we agree that it is always important to keep an eye on it.
We probably all agree that we must improve our systems and must ensure that more work is being done automatically. Over the past years there were constantly several improvement processes in place. Do we wish we had progressed here more? Absolutely! Can we shut off this operational system today and move immediately to another system? Unfortunately, not. Will we continue to work on this? Definitely, it is one big part of our current restructuring!
I am happy to continue the exchange in person or via teams.
Meanwhile, I wish you all the very best for your future.
Miriam
