RSM reviews

The IMC team is in survival mode only. Leadership is openly and damagingly competitive, entirely disingenuous, and situations are manipulated for personal gain; to control the narrative. This is well known, isn’t new, and this behaviour continues to be rewarded. What a way to drive a culture. People who put others down to be the best, always seemingly being the ones who ‘save the day’, determined to demonstrate how powerful they are, are held up as something to aspire to. Work is a mind game. Constant micro management is stifling and exhausting and it hinders creativity and productivity. You have to third guess your every move for worry of doing or saying the wrong thing or being blamed for something you were actually ASKED to do. Decisions aren’t explained, because they’re not understood, and there’s no strategy other than playing a game to win favour from the people who are deemed to matter. All the successes we have are despite these challenges not because of them. Poor mental health is a real issue in the team and it’s getting worse. We’ve lost respected leaders. Now the team is built solely on favouritism and only game players are rewarded. People daren’t speak up. Those that haven’t fitted the mould have been unfairly dealt with, held up as examples of what could happen with a wry smile, or have left because they couldn’t compromise themselves any longer. Anonymous feedback internally isn’t trusted.

It is funny to know that the first thing when joining the firm that they teach you is that the client is your paymaster. Unfortunately everything they do says that too. Employees are nothing to the firm and can be seen from the crappy remuneration packages which is laughable. Tin of plain Kong guan biscuit for employee while packet drinks in fridge are for clients. Flexi attire strictly for Friday cause traditional management don't want client to see staff in "informal attires". Management explain we cant have microwave because client can smell our food hence we look unprofessional. When employees want to leave, they will find all ways physically and emotionally to refrain you from doing so. Who are we retaining client or employees. Everything the company does proves that they do not care about you nor your growth. It is also funny to see that they have rolled out a retention strategy called the "grow program" that does not involve increasing remuneration at all. All it does it teach you some online course soft-skill to listen to your client make them happy and help the firm make more money again. The current economy will bring out more ugly in the firm as seen.
