Untrustworthy and inhumane - Anonymous employee BrightHR Employee Review

Personal performance and company success matter little when it comes to compensation. Don't expect raises during the pay review periods. If you're "lucky," there'll be a frantic scramble to retain employees after mass resignations and a manager will try and get you to stay with less than you should have got at your last pay review. This package invariably comes with strings attached, usually demanding increased office attendance. Unsurprisingly, people take the cash and run anyway. Autonomy, once a cornerstone of BrightHR's work culture, has been replaced by a pervasive climate of distrust. Genuine health concerns warrant not empathy, but suspicion. Taking genuine sick leave very quickly triggers threatening letters from shame faced managers and disciplinaries follow. You'll get patronising emails on awareness days stating how much they care about your wellbeing when in practice they clearly don't. It ties in nicely with the CEO's hypocritical articles and social media posts. This policy encourages the clearly unwell into the crowded office, perpetuating the spread of illnesses. Management's pronouncements hold zero weight. A policy for two days in the office quickly turns into three days, and then morphs into four, disguised through pay raise conditions. The company's former values of bravery and openness have become weapons wielded against employees who dare embody them, leading to unjust terminations.
