Pros
I really had to pause to look at the pros of working here... It is some of my colleagues who are competent, genuine and were brought up in well by the good Singapore system.
Cons
Since December 2022, we have encountered significant challenges with a particular individual in the product team at Zig. This person, unfortunately, has demonstrated a lack of competence and an excessive desire for power, attempting to restructure the reporting lines to centralize control within the product team. This approach has created tension and discord among colleagues, fostering a negative atmosphere. This individual has used fear tactics, particularly targeting those on foreign passes, to manipulate and intimidate. Capable team members have been subjected to bullying, while this person presents themselves as a problem-solver to senior management. These actions are not only disruptive but also undermine the team's cohesion and productivity. Moreover, this individual's close associate, who also employs similar bullying tactics, has contributed to creating a hostile work environment. Their strategy appears to be to eliminate qualified team members to avoid being overshadowed, using gaslighting techniques to maintain their positions. Unfortunately, their behavior has repeatedly misled management. The virtual leaders within the team, although responsible for significant portfolios, have not matched this individual's theatrical approach, often conceding to their manipulative tactics. Despite reports to HR, the response has been inadequate, as the behavior is not being recognized as bullying, leading to increased emotional and work-related stress. The current situation has negatively impacted Zig's potential to develop a robust taxi and mobility business in Singapore. Without these disruptive influences, our workplace could thrive, fostering innovation and stability in our passenger and driver applications.
