Micromanagement, Bullying and Odd Fruit - Anonymous employee Qosina Employee Review

Management takes a "show up and shut up" attitude toward employees. Management makes it clear that they are buying an employee's time, not their intelligence, skill set or capabilities. What they do with that time is entirely up to them. Management/professional employees may find themselves doing completely unskilled busy work for hours on end. There are too many employees in proportion to work demands -- I found myself idle for much of the day pretty regularly. You may think that you can take some of your idle time and put it toward new ideas and endeavors that would help the company generate more business. However, your efforts will not be taken as initiative, they will be considered a threat to the current power structure with resulting consequences. Bullying and intimidation are common practice. Management doesn't know how to motivate people without resorting to threats or belittling behavior. Bonuses consist of small bills, cosmetic samples and odd fruit. Yes, it's true, the owner will occasionally pass out small amounts of money ($5-$50) to employees as a reminder that you're there to make money, just not very much. Additionally, he passes out exotic fruit and the occasional ice cream though I really don't why. The most highly valued employee trait at this company is punctuality. In fact, managers advise employees to take the whole day off if they think they will even be even ten minutes late. If you are not observed coming into the building before works starts at 8:30am, the CEO herself will start dialing your desk and manager to figure out where you are. Unless you enjoy punishing micromanagement, coming in to work to find that someone has obviously been rifling through your desk, and dealing with a complete lack of professionalism at all levels, stay away. I certainly wish I did.
