It’s “the place are you now?” month at Ask a Supervisor, and all December I’m operating updates from individuals who had their letters right here answered previously.
Bear in mind the letter-writer who wrote a Glassdoor assessment and their former employer was shedding their minds? Right here’s the replace.
I simply wished to say thanks for publishing my letter. I actually admire it, in addition to the recommendation you gave and the commenters.
I didn’t write the Glassdoor and Certainly evaluations out of malice or in poor health will, I wrote it as a result of this firm is genuinely difficult to work with. In my unique letter I didn’t even disclose different extra ridiculous issues that occurred at that office, reminiscent of the truth that management would confide in their worker “interior circle” issues they positively ought to NOT disclose, reminiscent of which staff have been on PIPs (!) and even matters like which staff have been fighting issues like marriage points. The corporate’s management has additionally been vindictive to individuals who have left the corporate on platforms like LinkedIn and Fb, immediately asking them why they left and interrogating them with questions like “you assume you’re too good for us now?” (which is one thing I used to be a direct recipient of once I left). I swear, it’s like a cleaning soap opera. My partner and I used to joke that it was like Days Of Our Lives. It’s a disgrace as a result of I liked the work that I did there however the drama and immaturity of the management was an excessive amount of and the shortage of alternatives for development led to me to hunt different employment. I really feel prefer it was such an unprofessional office. In hindsight, it was profession “stepping stone” however I’m in a MUCH higher place now. I don’t even understand how that place nonetheless features, and given how clear the management is on social media (a pal despatched me a screenshot from the CEO, who made a submit the opposite day on a social media platform about how a lot she hates being a CEO!!!) it looks like the office is hanging on by a thread anyway.
Thanks and the commenters for the reassuring phrases relating to that I didn’t do something flawed, and relatively that my earlier employer’s antics relating to the witch hunt have been flawed. I had a number of moments the place I used to be critically contemplating contacting these providers to take the assessment down or delete the assessment, however I’m holding agency — the assessment is staying up.
Whereas I nonetheless do really feel slightly bit bizarre that my evaluations prompted some inside chaos, the constructive that’s come out of that is that a lot of my pals who labored there have had sufficient. The witch hunt was the ultimate straw of a bale of hay that was already breaking the camel’s again. 4 out of the 5 pals which have labored immediately with me have obtained new positions elsewhere AND have left their very own evaluations of the corporate, with comparable commentary. The remaining one is considerably holding out for a management place — one whose job description she even wrote! — though management has repeatedly instructed her that they’re not going to advertise her as a result of they don’t really feel that she is certified to steer. We’re all going to be working along with her later this week to spruce up her resume, tidy up her LinkedIn, and take her out for a “you are able to do this!!” brunch so she will hit the job market.
Once more, I admire the sort phrases and recommendation!
