Workplace or Prison? - Anonymous employee 1st Formations Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry to hear that your time with us left you feeling this way. While it’s encouraging to know you had strong relationships with your colleagues and valued the office environment, we’re concerned and disappointed to hear that your overall experience did not reflect the values we strive to uphold. At 1st Formations, we are committed to fostering a respectful, supportive, and inclusive workplace for everyone. The behaviours and experiences you’ve described are not reflective of the culture or leadership approach we aim to promote. We understand the responsibility we have not only to set high standards, but also to lead with empathy, fairness, and integrity. If individuals have felt disrespected, unheard, or unsupported, that is deeply regrettable and not aligned with our intent or expectations. We want to be clear that we take concerns of this nature very seriously. Feedback like this is essential in helping us reflect honestly and identify areas where improvement is needed. Your comments have been shared with our leadership team to support continued dialogue around employee wellbeing, trust, and culture. We remain committed to creating a positive working environment where everyone feels valued, empowered, and treated with dignity. We acknowledge that growth involves listening closely, even when feedback is difficult. If you would be open to speaking further, we welcome the opportunity to hear more.
