Speaking of incompetence....anyone know who's gotten the axe in the IT dept?
Plenty of people, and from an insider's perspective, it has turned an enjoyable work environment (4 years ago) into a nightmare. Head counts are not being increased, in fact there are no one for one replacements at the moment, which is driving our operational staff in to a deep black hole. Getting even deeper as strong teams of 6-14 people have been eroded down to teams of 1-6 if you're lucky. That wasn't management bloat either, that was teams of people working their
off for little reward at the end of the day.
The parties are no more. Considering how much it cost to stage one of these events, I'm not surprised it was one of the first things for Massimo to axe, albeit we at least expected one last hurrah with the 10th birthday. Not to be, and it soured the mood around HQ since the email earlier this week. This year's birthday present was a Passport Holder and a Cupcake ... and an offer to volunteer as a food server at a private party in Melbourne - if Massimo's aim was to piss off every staff member in HQ, mission accomplished.
Morale is in a murky place at the moment ....
The current performance rating system is a rort. All KPI's are predetermined in a way as to prevent bonuses being paid out, even if they exist or not. Hell, being hired on for way below asking/market rate was bad enough let alone being told at performance reviews that there are no bonuses or profit sharing to keep the place competitive. If the new management wants to see things such as OTP and the general mood improving, how about introducing a fair HR system
