"Poor safety culture, Poor people culture, No recognition of good work". 2. " Leadership…. HA! What leadership? These “leaders” couldn’t lead themselves down a waterslide even if you pushed them at the top. Advice to Management. I would rather have my arms and legs eaten off by rabies infested lions than ever be within 100km’s of your rotten faces. Hope all of you quit, or even better, get done over in court." 3. "Poor management. Corrupt leadership. Bullying from everyone". Only 22% would recommend the place to a friend and only 9% approval of the CEO
Can someone who works there potentially shine some light on all the negativity online, is it really such a bad place to work??? i'm becoming slightly concerned as i said
I’d agree with all of the above.
Think old school RAAF morphed with Lord of the Flies. Start by forming an all male government department managed by old school RAAF, turn it into an exclusive private entity then add very well paid. Allow it to self manage. Immaturity and butt kissing is prevalent.
Poor behaviour has been rife forever. The treatment of women when they started in ATC has been a long term stain. Any variation from the “norm” makes you susceptible.
Following internal and external (read federal legislation and laws) policies is definitely not a priority for management at the academy or in the towers/centres and HR. A good coverup and circling of the wagons solves that.
ASA is not accountable to anyone and it shows.
If you get in, trust no one and watch your back. Don’t be quiet or outspoken. Don’t mention any issues or “weaknesses”. The grapevine is strong, hungry and extremely active. Your entire career can be destroyed because of something you wear, say or do.
Poor behaviour and actions by management are denied, protected and hidden through over 6 levels of management. You at the bottom are expendable as they close ranks to protect what they have. Incestuous is a word that comes to mind with how it’s run and who gets each role.
Don’t expect Civil Air to put you ahead of management when it comes to the crunch. Your poor ass will be traded for some larger deal being negotiated.
I could list endless breaches of workplace practices across dozens of areas today and still think of more tomorrow.
It’s a real pity as it’s a great job in an amazing field.
Too many brilliant and nice folk get destroyed without justification. Thrown under the bus daily.
No bitterness or anger here, just honesty.
I’d go as far as saying that the social schoolyard level skills required to achieve a successful and rewarding career honestly and morally are far in excess of the academic and intellectual requirements to get in.
Dishonest heartless grubs thrive.
