I recently had the unfortunate experience of working for Cheqroom and I must say it was quite a toxic work environment. From the moment I joined, I was greeted with a pointing-finger culture that bred negativity and an unhealthy level of competition among employees. One of the most glaring issues was the unreasonable working hours. Despite being based in the EU, there was an expectation to work long hours without any compensation for the extra effort put in. This blatant disregard for work-life balance significantly impacted the well-being and morale of the employees. Adding to the discontent, the lack of experience and expertise among the management team only exacerbated the toxic environment. Inexperienced individuals were given leadership roles, resulting in poor decision-making, ineffective communication, and a lack of support for the teams they were supposed to lead. The absence of qualified leadership led to a cutthroat and competitive atmosphere, where colleagues were pitted against each other rather than working collaboratively.
