Problematic Management - Anonymous employee Talarian Employee Review

Lack of structure: No clarity as to who does what. No project management. Multiple people/teams working on the same topic with no coordination permitted by management. Lack of strategic mindset: No clarity as to why things are done, what objectives are pursued or what should be delivered. No efforts to onboard employees and engage them around a shared vision. Toxic working conditions: Micro-management, information retention, emotional blackmailing, gaslighting. Repeated cutting remarks, disparaging and infantilizing comments. What you do or say or ask is never ok, never enough. Employees’ thoughts, suggestions and abilities are not given consideration. Discussions go round in circles with inconsistencies and denial of what was previously said to you. What’s constant, though, is the badmouthing of current and past employees from management at all levels. Voicing your concerns has no impact (tried to, to no avail). There’s no willingness to improve the situation on anyone’s part. High employee turnover: Frequent layoffs, spontaneous departures and burnouts.
