Kontras
Toxic culture Insecure, incompetent people who brown nose are the ones promoted. Experience is seen as a threat and huge turnover of people doing the grunt work. No strategy and 100% focus on costs. Hot desks are horrible. If people want to work from home and have proven themselves productive, management should let them work where they want. Their new Everyday Respect Task Force is nothing but a joke and something corporate can pitch to the media to say they are working on their internal issues. Sent an email to their generic email address, only to receive a boilerplate response several days later, and stating they would reach out to immediate manager. So much for confidential and anonymous. Their reputation is still hurting from their big cave blowup in 2020 and still no signs of recovering. Lot of internal politics with promotions given to mates rather than competent people. Silos culture and a lot of bullying attitudes. Managers are more caught up with ensuring they have people reporting to them in the org chart rather than career development of their staff. Lowball offers for contract to permanent roles
