a literal nightmare
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It is hard to put into words how traumatic and toxic the work environment in this office is. Employees are not allowed to talk to each other if it’s not work related. Everyone is being closely monitored and work hours and lunch breaks are being tracked via cameras that are placed in the whole office. Very distracting music is put on full blast throughout the whole office and if someone dares to lower the volume so they could focus on work they would get fined 39,99€! (Sounds like a joke but we literally got a memo regarding this)
Kommunikation
There is no transparency or communication happening between employees and the heads of the company.
People are getting fired and hired on a daily basis and no one is allowed to ask questions. New employees don’t even get introduced to colleagues, they just show up without anyone knowing anything about them. And some colleagues just suddenly stop showing up, that’s when we know they got fired.
Sometimes we would come back on a Monday and see that our desks were moved to a different part of the office without even informing us or telling us why they did it. We just had to accept it and not talk about it.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I would say it’s good but there is not really a chance of getting to know the colleagues since talking about non-work related topics is not allowed during office hours. If you do so, you would get a warning from the supervisor. And since employees are changing on a weekly basis, it’s hard to keep a good work relationship
Work-Life-Balance
It’s expected to stay longer than working hours, leaving on time is not appropriate so everyone just stays 10-15 minutes longer even if there is no work to do.
Supervisors contact you on weekends, vacation days or in the middle of the night on WhatsApp - if you don’t answer you get a warning and they tell you it’s disrespectful
Vorgesetztenverhalten
You never get any encouragement or compliments for working hard or doing a good job. They always find a way to make you feel like you’re not doing enough. There is no trust between supervisors and employees thats why they micromanage everything. When an employee is on sick leave supervisors don’t believe them and go ask their colleagues if they sounded or seemed sick the day before.
Interessante Aufgaben
Working in e-commerce is interesting but not in this work environment
Gleichberechtigung
All management positions are filled with family members or male employees. There is no chance at all to ever be considered for a management position in this company.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
They mostly higher young graduates who are just out of university. Most employees are younger than 35.
Arbeitsbedingungen
It’s a nice and modern office with good equipment
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Mostly plastic cups and cutlery are being used in this office.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I would say most employees are underpaid. asking for a raise is not an option, because employees are scared to get fired for asking.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Trying to grow or have a career in this company is just a waste of time because this is a family business and all higher positions are filled with relatives. No chance on getting a promotion or getting any type of management position.
