EVERYTHING IS FINE!

Pros

Our employees are always getting to meet and work with variety of new colleagues. We produce top of the line research into organizational performance and leadership development. We fully take these practices to heart in our offices, thereby contributing to a harmonious work environment. In-person staff feedback is resoundingly positive.

Cons

Any negative sentiments towards our organization and its leadership team must be borne from a sense of entitlement by employees who deserve to, and probably already have had their “positions terminated”. No sweat though, our compassionate HR team are experts in quickly re-hiring the same positions every year to year-and-a-half. Those who have defied the odds and managed to keep their jobs have done so based purely on recognized merit and nothing else quantifiable. Anyone remotely critical of our employment and/or business practices clearly isn’t on board with our new direction that involves taking everything the previous administration did and intensifying it to a comical degree.

Canada’s Greatest Hypocrites

Pros

There are some great people who still work here. They are unfortunately getting to be few and far between now. The organization has a good reputation but sadly that is eroding too.

Cons

A cauldron of toxicity and incompetence with some islands of sanity that are rapidly disappearing. If you have ever read any of the Conference Board’s HR research, they do exactly the opposite of all the best practices they publish. Specifically: - Allowed a manager who mistreated female employees to continue working despite numerous complaints. - Their answer to allegations of racism was for employees to just avoid interacting with racist managers. - It took a whistleblower going public on APTN to force the organization to deal two highly toxic VPs. - They terminate people who have been off on stress leave and keep toxic managers in place. The turnover at the organization tells much of the story. If you’re a woman or a minority, avoid this place at all costs.

What’s worse, the hypocrisy or the incompetence

Pros

Even negative reviews consistently identify great co-workers and interesting work as positive aspects of working here. This means this organization has two of the fundamentals to succeed. Which begs the question ....

Cons

Where to start? The hypocrisy? The harassment and bullying? The lack of diversity? The sheer ignorance of leadership? The lack of humanity? I could go on. How has this organization gotten away with this for so long? Promoting workplace mental health for example, and making money from it, while tolerating a toxic culture and ignoring the mental health of its employees. Claiming expertise about innovation while stifling the ideas of employees.
