It takes a bully to trash a village - Anonymous employee Lippincott Employee Review

Anybody who knows the firm and reads another review I saw on Glassdoor titled: "It only takes one" (read it if you have not already), immediately knows exactly who and what the reviewer is talking about. She's talking about a so-called leader who expends great amounts of personal time and effort to see to it that talented employees submit utterly to his will and whims, (it's usually a "him" in these cases, isn't it), or if they will not, that they suffer and are humiliated in the process. She's talking about a management culture that's unable to rein this individual in despite this individual's behavior being common knowledge, not only within the company, but also within the industry as a whole. Glass Door allows individual officers to be named in posts, so if another reviewer wants to name this individual in a separate post, it might help job seekers. I've decided not to give his name here. If you are a prospective employee and you already work in the industry, it will not be hard for you to ask around about this person and get the inside story. Armed with the facts you can then decide if this is for you or not. To be fair, so long as you have nothing to do with this person, it can be a fine place to work, and yet the road to misery can often start with a promotion, or being asked to work on a prestigious project. After all, telling someone they are special is a great way to get them to put in 12 hours for you to help line your bank account. She's talking about a person who sows chaos and confusion wherever they go, not because they make it up as they go along (they do), but because of how they treat people while they are doing it. She's talking about a person who's devious nature led them to torment hapless employees one or two at a time, so as to be able to isolate those employees from sympathy and support, and avoid being held to account for his actions. She's talking about a person who is fundamentally dishonest, deceitful and who thinks nothing of trampling on other people's peace of mind in pursuit of personal wealth and status. No, you can't stop it happening, but you don't have to be part of it either. Yes, I'm sure there is more than one firm leader who is less than perfect but it takes real dedication to be such a successful serial bully and the award in this case has to go to one individual. As this individual is not named in here, we only have their behavior to go on, to be able to identify them. If this person was not as I've described them, that would be a hard job. As it is, every insider knows who this is about: "for by their fruits shall you know them".
