I heard a lot of criticism about my work and performance but little to no praise for it. First example, my manager was out sick for a couple of days. On my initiative, I posted a large note outside her cube to let people know. When my manager came back in, she was flabbergasted that I had done such a thing. Yes, she used the word, flabbergasted. She chewed me out for about 10 minutes. She claims that she told me not to do that before, but I do not remember the conversation. Second example, my manager called my work on an operator manual a failure. Yes, she used the word, failure. She pointed out specifics. I pointed out some things I did correctly in the document, but that did not seem to matter to her. When I asked my manager why I did not receive any compliments from her about my work, she did offer one, but I have not heard another compliment since. I did not feel that I contributed to the company much. For example, my manager read and provided feedback on everything I wrote including some of my email messages. Although her feedback was valuable and improved the documents, I feel that things might have gone faster if she simply did the work herself. She often complained about how much time she spent redlining my work. I did not feel that I was allowed to think for myself or take initiative in solving problems. For example, my manager asked me to resolve a conflicted files problem in our software versioning and revision control system. I asked a co-worker to help me, and we spent some time on the phone to resolve it. He seemed happy to help me, and we solved it. Afterwards, my manager told me not to waste his time and that every work-related problem I have should go through her first. She also called that co-worker to apologize to him for wasting his time, which I did not feel was necessary.

There are many area to improvement within this organisation. Company doesn't appreciate staffs, only talk about Work-life balance but doesnt execute. But leadership drives you worse than a machine. Basically, Individual businesses unit doesn't work cohesively. Expectation of their employees couldnt be define properly, depends on your manager. if he wish to find fault at you, he can use many ways to do so. Manager can use nasty words on their employees and drive them to leave voluntarily. HR is useless in this company. Basically, this company is revenue driven company which is normal. But Finance drives the business with price setting, leaving no room for negotiation for contract orders or other business opportunities. no proper processes quality issues, production doesnt have standard SOP and many other things to mention. I have been in the work force for more than 20 years and at least with 3 Multi national companies before. This is the worst. Hire 1 person (of a higher banding) to replace 2 staffs (of lower banding) MC and hospital leave also required to work. Think twice before joining the company. They use many ways to force people out of the company to answer to shareholders especially during the year end to increase their growth
