Fujitsu reviews

I felt there was strong evidence of repeated breaches of Fujitsu's Bullying Harrassment & Victimisation guidelines, specifically setting impossible objectives, deliberate wrong apportionment of blame, blocking training without business justification & insistence their way was the right way. This culminated when I had to send a 6am text to my manager from the hospital after a close family member was rushed in during the night for life-saving brain surgery and I returned to work to be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan, despite not taking any time off sick during the 8 years I worked there. I queried with Manager 1 why you would use a family member's brain surgery for this and was told that wasn't what happened because "the PIP doesn't say anything brain surgery. It says family emergency and it was a family emergency". I entered it in the feedback form for Manager 2's appraisal with Manager 3, but got no response from either of them I queried it with Manager 4 who told me he couldn't give an answer because he was 52 I entered the comments in the Employee Opinion Survey but got no response from anybody I queried with Manager 5 (who wasn't a manager at the time of the incident) and was told "That was before I was the manager. I don't know what happened and I don't want to know. I don't care" Finally after I had a leaving date I contacted Manager 3 again asking for a 1-2-1 to try and get an explanation for what happened which she initially agreed to but, upon learning what I wanted to discuss, she cancelled the meeting stating no good would come of it

This company’s corporate culture is slowly destroying it from within. An entrenched group of managers who’ve spent their entire working life in this company acts as a block against any attempt to bring change to the organization. Newcomers at any level are viewed with suspicion and any idea they bring with them from the outside is treated with a mixture of fear and contempt. The old guard and their cronies treat everyone who is not one of them with disrespect. True, in many companies the boss would yell at you, too, but at Fujitsu they’d yell at you in front of other people, even your own reports. In other companies someone might send you a nasty email, too, but at Fujitsu they’ll make sure to CC as many people as they can to show how powerful they are. This unprofessional behavior demotivates and demoralizes people at all levels of the organization. This is a very unpleasant environment to work at, where senior management’s idea of leadership is throwing a tantrum every time a goal is not reached or a sale falls through, without ever professionally analyzing what is the cause for this; without even listening to either their reports or the clients. There is an unofficial hierarchy among the old guard where they report “offenders” to each other so if you rub one of them the wrong way, even if that person is not in your department, they’ll find a way to get your boss to give you a hard time. If you are a self-respecting professional, your place is not there.
