Reel you in and mdep you stagnant - IT Technician Marsworth Computing Employee Review

Paid for a course - (MTA) A few good clients

I was constructively dismissed for various reasons such as travel time to work( was on time) and for because of evidence-less accusations that my army reserve commitments apparently were interfering with work (illegal under Reserve Forces (Safeguard of Employment) Act 1985 (SOE 85) and others....) Besides that... Bad rep in industry Senior level are very well paid, whilst junior roles get taken advantage of/underpaid (£7k or 8k behind london average) Decisions are made without consideration for the workload that will be rolled on to you Never felt like your superiors have your back with clients and just try to please them with whatever they ask for Overcharging of clients No regular performance reviews CEO is your HR department... Bad practice on many IT systems (apart from a few distinct sites)

Some days you get go home early like the seniors

I was employed at Marsworth for 5 years. There is simply no progression in the company. All of my annual reviews consisted of my CEO informing me that I was working towards 2nd line position. My last annual review, I was told a ‘2nd line’ position does not exist within the company and never has. I was completely misled and manipulated into staying. The CEO refused to promote me in order to keep from advancing in my career and thus limited my technical and professional development. The CEO is your HR - If you complain about any of the seniors, you are instantly at fault and blamed for. All seniors (His friends) are protected. Work safety and well-being - When I highlighted issues at work and work safety with the CEO. I was told to leave the company if I was unhappy. I fractured my shoulder, I was told that I was faking it and was forced to go into work and neglected till I was able to provide proof a couple of days later. Lack of care and support - On client sites you are often left alone without support or cover whilst senior staff go on café meetings to avoid work or coffee breaks. No regular performance reviews – You are often left pulling other people’s weight whilst your colleagues sit all day and do nothing. When I complained about this to one of my directors, I was told I was jealous of a colleague. Unprofessional – Directors often comment inappropriate remarks about clients and colleagues and are very negative and insensitive towards junior colleagues. I requested a day off for a family funeral and was told I have no remaining annual leave days and therefore was not permitted to go.
