Dumbfounded - Anonymous employee Future Employee Review

Unfortunately, these teams are being held back every day by utter incompetence from the rest of the company. HR, especially, are away with the fairies. Total obsession with absurd, sitcom-worthy, Americanised "team-building exercises" that offer absolutely no value to anyone whatsoever. The HR team can find the time to drag you away to the countryside for these exercises for a three-day break. Raise a real issue, however, like being completely unable to carry out your day-to-day tasks due to broken computers or a lack of phone access, and you'll be ignored entirely for weeks on end. Clever schemes like "unlimited holiday" sound fantastic but actually lead to employees taking fewer holidays than they are due. You'll get no support from other teams, either. No access to the server? IT will respond to your *urgent* message three weeks later saying "Is this still a problem?" The accounts team will simply refuse to help you, full stop.
